Well, I did it!....and as always you were absolutely right... Everyone was very friendly. I did feel a bit lost when I turned up on my own and everyone seemed to be chatting with a friend. I headed towards the guy holding the sign 'first time runners' who explained the course and the bar codes. We then congratulated a couple of people on their 50th and 100th Parkrun and off we went. It was really warm and there were a couple of small hills (which I barely noticed?!), but it was great. There were lots of calls of encouragement all the way through from the other runners. And a lovely couple congratulated me at the end and said they'd look out for me next week. . ..and I finished in 38 mins 29 secs, which Iam really pleased with!
