First Park Run & Outside Run Completed!

I bit the bullet this morning and took part in my first ever park run at Shipley Park. All my C25K was completed on a treadmill so this was also my first outside run. My distances have been around 4.5k so this was also my first full 5k.

I completed it in 43mins and I'm so so happy! It was tough but the marshals were so encouraging and I really enjoyed it.

I will definitely try and fit in some more outside runs now when I can.

Happy New Year everyone!
