Lol. I am such a tease.

Actually I literally sat down after the run, pulled out my phone and saw this post.

It went very well. I did my first 30 minute run for week 9, walked the rest and had a little left in the tank to jog the last 200m across the finish line. Time was 45 minutes, which was better than I thought.

I did. A totally new venue to me, a park I have never been to. And a very friendly bunch. Will go again, and certainly will try other Parkruns.

Just done my 3rd Park Run, no walking and clocked in at 39.36. Super happy.

My son (a 20 minuter) and a family friend were waiting towards the end and ran with me to the finish which was just lovely. 💞🏃🏃

Then double congratulations.

1) On the parkrun.

2) On your political skills.

🤣🤣🤣

Hm, find the line where they don't take the taxi. 😀

Thanks; all done now and managed to jog whole way and finish in 35:02. Very pleased, especially as I was arguing with myself the whole way round about needing to walk. Think I went off too fast as 1st couple of K were 6:15 m/k and I’m more naturally 7:30 m/k 😂😂😂
