So I did my first park run this morning!! My mental health has been awful this week and I was dreading it as I didn’t think I’d have the mental energy to complete it, but I got out of bed and I did it. I may have had to walk at times, but I’m so proud of myself for completing it that it’s ok. And now I know the course and know what time I have to beat! First 5k, 41 minutes and 51 seconds. Done!

Excellent. And you did it the right way for your first parkrun. Now you can go again next week and get a PB time. You’ll have plenty in the tank to beat that time next weekend.
