1st parkrun and I'm buzzin 😁

Morning people , so I've got my first parkrun under my belt and got to say I'm soooooooo happy!!!. It's been 2 weeks since I graduated from couch25k and I've stuck to my three 5k runs over the past two weeks but that was my best run yet to date for a couple of reasons. Firstly everyone seems so friendly and supportive at parkrun it's unbelievable, only positive vibes I felt which made me feel at ease and then find out I've run 27.20😁😁. Roll on next Saturday cause I genuinely cannot wait . What a fantastic feeling!!. Anyway sorry to ramble on , and happy running people 👌✌.

[Hidden in reply to Debston]

Thanks Debston, your to kind . To be honest the arboretum is a nice place to be if your running, walking,or just chilling in the sunshine. Fantastic place to run !!😁👌✌

TWENTY SEVEN MINUTES?! Flippin' flip dude, that's crazy 🤪 well done mate, well done.

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Thanks fg19, it is crazy because this time last year I was in self destruct mode . What a difference a year makes 👌✌.

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I'm so proud of you.

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Bless ya and thank you for your kind words . It means a lot 👌. Just need to get you to a parkrun now , sooner rather than later fg19 !!.

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Urgh, it's going to be late August before I get a chance, and then the boys football practices are back on and I'll probably get caught up in that and have to wait until December! 😭

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

I last made parkrun 3 years ago... Football is to blame!

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Football mad I was when I was younger. Boys will be boys lol.

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

Well your running so that's the main thing ,and if you have other commitments it can't be helped but If you get a chance to sneak a parkrun in grab it . You'll love it 👌✌

[Fatgirlslim19 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Youngest and I might do the junior parkrun tomorrow... !

[Hidden in reply to Fatgirlslim19]

That's brilliant, make sure you let us all know how you both get on. That sounds like a nice morning/Afternoon out and I bet he enjoys it !!.

[Skeg Graduate]

Great and well done. I'm a bit behind you W6R3 done. Your park would be my nearest assuming I finish the course. I don't drive (bus is easy) would there be anywhere to leave my rucksack?

[Hidden in reply to Skeg]

Thanks skeg and try to finish c25k, it really does work!!!. Your so close , 3 more weeks and you've cracked it . I did notice that some people had left there bikes , bags ect near finishing line against the railings so you could always do that , but it would be at your own risk . It's a good vibe so just don't take anything that's valuable. You could run with your rucksack on . There's people running with dogs ,prams ect so a small rucksack shouldn't be a problem lol.

[Sp81 Graduate]
