This came today...

Three more weeks to go, the first run after week 9 will be my first park run..

That’s my 1st mental target 🎯

Oooh exciting!

How long did it take to arrive? I shall be getting one to ensure I do some park runs, must set to ordering it!

It took three days, not long, I thought it might take longer.

Amazing! What a great goal! Really signifies you’re achievement I’ve been thinking about it, I’m in week 9 now too but I’m super scared of it! (Parkruns in general)

[Sazzles9 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I think with all things, take your time do it at your own pace, if you need to walk then walk. I’m reading a book called fat girls guide to running a marathon. It’s brilliant, the lady who wrote it is a sizeable lady who ran 3 marathons. She says if you need to walk walk but only for 60 seconds and count the 60 in your head. It’s well worth a read she gives you good advice on what rubs lol!! But I think no pressure, Rome wasn’t built in a day. X

Hi Sazzles, How lovely, you’re all ready to get out there. Like you I’m back after over 20 years of life getting in the way. I’m aiming for a park run at the end of Week 9 too and have registered this week ....first 20 min run coming up tomorrow, no doubt storm Jorge will be coming along 🤣

[Sazzles9 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

The 20 min is easier than you think, it’s such a mental hurdle. Good luck tomorrow, let us know how you get on, I bet you will smash it... I can feel a storm coming 😂

Fantastic Sazzles! I have the same one. 👍

Have fun at your first PR. I’ve done 54 now and my Saturdays have changed forever! I also volunteer once a month, which is also tons of fun. 😀

Enjoy, and of course good luck on the rest of hour C25K journey - nearly there! 🎉🎉🎉

[Sazzles9 Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Thank you, 54 runs wow.. I imagine they are addictive x

[cheekychipmunks Graduate in reply to Sazzles9]

Massively! Plus the really fun part for me has been meeting VRBs (virtual running buddies) from these forums at different parkruns around the country! Parkrun tourism is a huge thing. 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️ 🏃‍♀️ 🏃‍♂️

Brilliant! You’re my inspiration! We started at the same time but I’m a bit behind you now due to various things. I’m starting wk5 today. You’re doing brilliantly. I’m hot on your virtual heels 😊👍🏻

[Sazzles9 Graduate in reply to AHKiss]

Aww thank you, you will smash it I have every faith x
