London SR 3 miles

[CaroB]

Finished the london Sports Relief 3 miles in 35 mins and really chuffed with myself. Nearly got lapped by my children who did it 9 mins faster and that was after they both got personal best times in the parkrun the day before, the joys of youth! Still being older I am also wiser and now know it would have been wiser to take up running about 30 years ago!

Anyway, thank you Laura, couldn't have done it without you.

Need a new challenge for the motivation to continue, so I am aiming to do my first park run on Easter Saturday. What motivational goals are other C25K graduates setting themselves?

Well done, I bet you are chuffed- so you should be, I know I would be if I achieved what you did today. Congratulations on a superb run....

Well done Caro, know what you mean about starting 30 years ago when I see how easily my daughter gets through each run compared to me. No challenges for me yet other than to reach the 5K. Started this on Boxing day and graduated a few weeks ago. Last Thursday was my first aborted run, I wasn't feeling great. Went off camping on Friday until Sunday on the coast with the sun shining. That was lovely, rejuvenating, and I really was itching to run along the coast path but thought better of it as I would prefer to be feeling 100 per cent before running again. Hopefully Tuesday will be fine. Good luck with your park run

Thank you Blueboots, hope you feel better soon, probably a good idea to give the running a miss until you do. The camping sounds lovely you were lucky with the weather, I am definitely not hardy enough to risk sleeping under canvas at this time of year. Looking forward to reading about your first 5K, goodluck!

Hmmm CaroB - Easter Saturday sounds like a damn fine day to do my first parkrun - I have signed up but was trying to work out when would be best to give it a go....... thanks for the motivation
