So I finally made it to Parkrun! My nearest is along a forest trail, new terrain for me but so gorgeous and fairly flat too. Thank goodness the weather was cooler this morning too! I set off too quickly, optimistically tailing the 35 minute pacer, but soon sorted out my pace and managed to complete in 36 mins 54 secs 😍 ...and according to Strava I actually covered 5.4km so pretty chuffed with that!

Hi, I did my first Parkrun today as well but a bit slower than you finishing in 39.01 but thrilled with my achievement. Our course has a bit of an incline so I walked it the 3rd time round but ran most of the 5km. The cooler weather definitely helped.
Hi! Well done to you too! I walked up a little hill, I don't know why because I'm sure I could have done it... I need to teach my legs to ignore my mind sometimes!
