Slowest ever Parkrun

[Debston]

Felt great to be back but it wasn't really about running today. Took my 9 year old daughter for the first time - she's been begging to come along - so while my son zoomed off ahead, my daughter and I walked / jogged our way round. I think it took us about 60 minutes, so very slow and steady but it was quite a boost for me to realise that I was raring to go faster! She found it quite a challenge but was determined to finish and told the tailwalkers that she had really enjoyed it. Bedgebury Pinetum looked so beautifully autumnal today and it was a great start to the weekend. Happy running everyone. ☺ 👟

Thanks Buddy34. My son has been coming for a while now and is easily sub 30 minutes now. I dream of keeping up with him one day!

Hi Debs. That’s a great picture. How lovely to run it with your daughter. Hope you are feeling OK now.

Thanks Stephen_UK. Feeling so much better now, still not quite 100% but better every day.

Very glad to hear it.

Well done Debston! My PR time is around 52 minutes (and my 5k yesterday took me 53!😱) so you’re definitely not the slowest around!!

Our official time came in at 59.42 so we were under an hour, just!
