Was a bit nervous of going back to Parkrun after injury but everything felt OK for this morning and I have been building up the distances again this week so I decided to go for it but keep it really slow and steady and be prepared to walk if needed. But all was fine and I Japanese Slow Jogged the uphill parts and am pleased I got round the whole course with no twinges. I knew that I would be slower than back in July so didn't worry about getting a new pb - I just wanted to relax and enjoy it all. The weather was perfect, sunny and dry with a slight autumnal nip in the air. My son came too and he did get a new pb of 31:16 - I can only dream of the day when I might have to wait for HIM at the finish line, instead of him having to wait for me! ๐ Anyway, felt really good to be back - I have really missed my Saturday morning runs in beautiful Bedgebury Pinetum!

Nice to hear youโre back at parkrun... and you canโt beat a nice relaxed run with a couple of hundred others on a Saturday morning. Congratulations to your son on the PB... to beat him just tell him that a big bowl of porridge 30 minutes before a run is great. ๐คฃ
