Parkrun Consolidation run 3

Well I didn’t improve my time, but I like the symmetry of 47:47. I was on track to complete 5k in under 40 minutes at the end of the first lap but I came across another runner who was struggling so I ran alongside her for the whole of the second lap. It meant I didn’t improve my time but we spent the whole of the second lap discussing James Bond, History and politics while still having enough left in the tank for a sprint to the finish. So I’m really happy, it felt like a good comfortable run and I made a new friend, what more could you ask for?

Well done. That’s a lovely thing to hear. If you both had the energy to discuss James Bond, history and politics you must have been doing pretty well.

Well done and that’s exactly why I love parkrun.

That was very kind of you to slow down and speak to that other runner who was struggling about 007, Politics and History, well done. 😊
