First Parkrun

Today is the day. It’s about 10 weeks since I graduated and this is my first Parkrun. I’ve covered the ground so I know what to expect. My time is still slow, but it’s a lot faster than it was last October when I started C25K.

Keep running.

It’s awful. Wind, rain not too cold though.

Thanks everyone for you good wishes and support. It was fantastic. I finished and I’m waiting for my time. I expect it’s around 50 mins but it’s the taking part that counts. I picked a good day, it was the run’s birthday. I got cake at the end. What’s not to like.?

I’m glad you got to parkrun! The atmosphere is great and everyone is so supportive and welcoming. There is often cake! I think it’s a thing: runners eat cake afterwards 👍
