First park run today, Eastbourne, thanks team

[Snodrop]

Well, completed my first park run today! Managed to slow steady jog all the way round with Laura’s words ringing in my ears to keep the pace. Felt quite emotional at the end after a bit of a journey healthwise and so thanks to everyone on the forum for the advice and support and also the volunteer marshals along the way.

Note to self

Don’t get spooked by all the people actually running to the park run!

Thought about taking Laura out for a slap up meal tonight but I didn’t want her saying “you are five minutes in well done you can do it “in the restaurant!

Well done, I'm glad you enjoyed your first park run, I'll wait until I've got to the end of C25K before I decide if I want to try one of those. I loved the comment about taking Laura out for a slap up meal to celebrate and your reason for not doing, that really made me chuckle!

Congratulations on completing your first parkrun, if you wish you could invite Laura for dinner, not sure if she would accept your invitation.

If it was anything like Southsea, it was windy. So well done on your first parkrun. Has anyone told you it can change your Saturdays forever.
