Week 9 Run 2. Eek only one to go!!

Weather was great today, cold and crisp but super sunny! Not much to report today, I ran my usual favourite route around the park and it felt good 😊 Around halfway I was at the top of the meadow and as I ran down I just took in the scenery and nature and thought this is it! This is what it is all about... then got a little emotional, but composed myself as I'm saving that for Wednesday!!

Talking of which, my little baby will be 9 months on Wednesday too so double celebrations... 2 things I can be proud of this year 😊

Great job... and what a fitting day to run your graduation! I’m sure you have lots to be proud of, but there’s two big things right there. Love every step on Wednesday, we will be running just behind cheering you along.

It really was a good one!

Your not far off 5k if your just under 3 miles!!! I'm covering 3.4k, which I think is around 2ish miles?!?!

Will you be taking your 9 month old with you? I see parkrun photos of mums and dads pushing buggies around the course.

Happy running and enjoy your success 😸

No no! But when I take the toddler to junior parkrun I might take him round in the pram!
