yesterday, I took my daughter to her very first junior parkrun at our local park. She is only 4 but she absolutely smashed it and the feeling of pride seeing her dash through the finish line was amazing
In some ways it has rekindled my drive to get back to running outdoors! The parkrun community is so welcoming and supportive and it really puts me at ease running outdoor at these events!
Oh what a fabulous picture of you and your daughter! Very special and wonderful that you could do that together. She looks so sweet running with her Dad 👏👏👏👍
thank you for commenting! 😁 yes we had a great run.
Absolutely wonderful..following her Dad..or us it Dad following her..Well done both!
she is definitely leading the way ! 
thank you!
Brilliant photo, one for the album! Look at the smile on her face 🤗
And a wonderful post 👏 love the username also! 😉
Thank you! Yes definitely a keeper for sure! and yes it's all I could think of when making this account haha
Congratulations to you and your daughter, she looks so cute running with you, I bet she finished the run a few seconds before you 🏃🏾✅👍
she certainly did, in a very reasonable 17 mins ! thank you
That is absolutely awesome! Really well done to you both - this will be a core memory for her. (I'm not at the Parkrun stage yet, but it's encouraging to hear about a welcoming community.)
thank you so much I have some confidence issues with running outside and for that reason am most of the time stuck indoors on the tread! the parkrun community is really welcoming to all abilities and the volunteers are amazing at cheering you along. Good luck with wherever you are in your training!
I have confidence issues about going to a Parkrun 🤣
Would be great if you could get back to running outside and I make it to a Parkrun!
yes definitely. Well i am going to try! Parkrun community are very welcoming and you will feel so proud of yourself after going
Oh what a lovely photo TormundsBeard! I’m so glad your daughter loved it. My grandson will be 4 in September and I can’t wait to take him along.
And yes, you should back to running too. It’s the absolute best. Good luck - to you both! 👏👏👏👏
thank you so much for your lovely comment! I am certainly going to push myself to run outside weekly! Seeing my daughter step up and do it without excuses or hesitation is really inspiring for me!
That is exciting, i bet you can't wait to get out with him! Best of luck with it!
I did my first ParkRun Saturday too. W7r3. Never run outside so it was challenging. Well done to your daughter 🥇
it is challenging but its so worth it for that post-run buzz! well done for getting out there, keep it up!
There's a rule at my local (adult) parkrun. Any child (10 or over) must come in ahead of the adult who is accompanying them.
Love that!
Congratulations to you both... What a wonderful way to be together
thank you 😁
