First Parkrun

Yesterday did my first ever Parkrun. Was quite nervous as to how I would get on, but really pleased to have completed in under 40 minutes, could have gone quicker but did not want to push it.

Now I know I can do it, has given me a massive boost and certainly ready to do more runs πŸ˜€

Well done. Which parkrun is that? Looks like a nice stretch along the coast.

That is Clacton-on-Sea promenade. Do a three lap route πŸ˜€

Well done! I did my first too - loved it. Might do one on the seafront next week - it looks lovely.

Great job. Good not to push it, and that also makes the PB more achievable!
