First #notparkrun

I haven't been on here for a while and I haven't done a parkrun since March😭 Knee problems followed by illness, self-isolation and general lockdown limitations really took the wind out of my sails and, even though I probably didn't need to, I decided to restart #c25k. I am really glad I did though, I gave been taking it steady, only two runs a week, with Joe Wicks PE keeping me permanently exhausted the rest of the week 😂🥵 with the kids. I mean REALLY exhausted. It isn't as enjoyable as c25k but I seem to have developed some muscles 💪 so it can't be all bad, things I do for those kids😂 So, I am lighter and stronger this time around and I know I can do it (OK week 5 was still a little bit daunting). Anyway, somehow I have crept up to week 7 and decided to have a go at the notparkrun now I am up to 25 mins. Feeling pretty tired but happy too😁

Good luck for your not parkruns and congratulations on getting up to week 7 of C25K, I do some of Joe Hicks PE but it's more for children than adults, too much jumping about for my liking, onwards and upwards for the rest of the course.

Thanks, yes, definitely aimed at the kids😂 it's been great fun though. My two are back at school now and I wonder if I will carry on but my youngest is only back part-time so we still do it together.
