Itโ€™s taken me about 8 weeks since graduation to attempt it ... once I had done x3 5K consolidation runs I felt ready to give it a whirl!

Brilliant Annie!!

Donโ€™t know how you managed in the Canadian cold: itโ€™s minus five here in Perthshire and my knees seize up!!

Thank you ๐Ÿ˜„ The Canadian cold is dry & somehow doesnโ€™t feel as cold as our damp UK cold ๐Ÿฅถ Wow -5 is very cold...well done!!

Fantastic! ๐Ÿ˜„๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ‰๐ŸŽ‰

A PB is a PB!! - (When I finally get to PR I would like to be under 45 mins so itโ€™s faster than my walk - even a couple of seconds faster will do! ๐Ÿ˜‚)

Enjoy glowing all day! ๐Ÿ˜„

PS & welcome home!

Well done, Annieapple! Such a great start to the weekend and that's a very respectable time. Today was the first time I have run in frosty conditions and I was a bit nervous setting off but the paths were fine. I guess you're used to wintry conditions after Canada?!

Thanks so much. Iโ€™ve still only ever tackled one ParkRun, though, as the one near me is basically on a massive hill! That still scares me too much for now. ๐Ÿ˜ณ
