So yesterday was week 9 run 3 and had managed to plan it to be my first park run as well Had persuaded my lovely man to come along and so he did his first park run too.
Was a little cold but better than last week had been when I think there was sleet and other such horrible things in York Felt quite different running with lots of other people - and most of them going faster than me! Started at the back and made my way through to somewhere near the back. Managed to have my iPod on shuffle rather than my running playlist which gave me the odd interesting tune
At around 3.5k my legs felt a bit unimpressed but kept on going and was a lovely sight to see the home straight. Even managed to sprint a little right at the end
I did it in 28 min 16 seconds coming 92nd out of about 140 I think. Need to make sure I keep on running as have some busy weeks ahead of me. Think I'll do a bit of 5ks and try and fit in another park run soon and then think about getting faster and/or further in a while.

Congratulations, I have just completed my graduation run too although I was pounding the treadmill so not quite as spectacular graduation as you - but it is an amazing feeling isn't it :o)
Great - and aren't you brilliant doing a parkrun so soon. It seems like there's a bunch of us graduating at the same time. Here's a virtual toast to us all. The combined elation must be creating a powerful forcefield over the British Isles - maybe enough to push the rotten weather away.
Congratulations, congratulations and congratulations!! You had three wonderful accomplishments today!! Your graduation, your first 5K run and a superb time!! Well done on all accounts!!
Enjoy your success and that shiny new "Graduate" badge!!
