Hi Givman, Yes myself and son both got PB's so very happy sons 29:58 knocked 90secs off and mine 38:10 knocked 95secs off so can't be bad. but yes very damp and miserable , luckily it was a coffee/tea morning to warm us up afterwards.

3 of us did newbie first parkruns in the c25k+ section! All pretty muddy and wet, but all very happy!

[givman]

excellent well done..did you enjoy??

[greenlegs Graduate in reply to givman]

Oh, most definitely yes! Even though it was very slippery in the mud, it was drizzling and the tail runner was walking behind me for 20 minutes!

[givman in reply to greenlegs]

brill well done you!!

Will you be there next week?

[greenlegs Graduate in reply to givman]

Quite possibly - I'll see how I feel - 45 minutes is still quite a long time for me to be running, so if I'm really tired this week, it might be wiser to wait a bit longer. But I'd like to, as it's the 100th run here, and they course is going to be in the reverse direction, so it would be a pity to miss it!

I'm only 95 runs behind you now!

[givman in reply to greenlegs]

yes im sure you will do it..we ran our race in reverse a few weeks ago and it seemed a faster course!!

I hope the cuppa warmed you up Graham! Great job in getting out there in the cold. Only a few more to that 100 mark!!! Gayle

[givman in reply to gdeann]

it did Gayle it did!! yes It was cold and damp but thats number 96 done...four more to go!!

How are you and Steve??

[gdeann Graduate in reply to givman]

We're doing great Graham! Thanks for asking! Steve has been running some 10K's and I am sticking to 8K's/5miles for now. I took up running at 49.5 years old, so don't want to push this old body too hard! I already feel near death on a few runs! I do want to be at 10K by my 50th, the first week in May.

[givman in reply to gdeann]

excellent keep on going. Think 10k is enough now for me!!

Its a distance this body can take!!
