Motivation is what I needed and it’s what I got at my 1st Parkrun in Belfast. I prepared like I imagine you would for a marathon but it felt like a marathon to me.

Nerves, met another girl whose 1st time it was too.

Was one of the last runners, but I bloody kept running the whole way.

Thoroughly enjoyed and can’t believe I did it. 5k! Running!! Madness!

Wine soon I think!

Thanks for the encouragement you lot ☺️☺️☺️
