Run Nineteen: My First 5K Parkrun!

My first parkrun! 
The road is long...
Finished!
Tired! 
My Results :)

Today I completed my first Parkrun! 

The Parkrun, for those who don't know about it, is a fantastic free race that takes place across the world usually on a Saturday at 9pm. They are weekly timed 5k races open to everyone from any age group and any fitness level. For more information visit: http://www.parkrun.org.uk 
It is completely free and well worth it. 

Today I completed my first race. I aimed to do it under 30 minutes and my final time was 29 minutes and 33 seconds and was 3rd in my age category. I was chuffed. I didn't wear a watch so I wasn't sure what time I would end up with but I felt pretty fit today and I actually really enjoyed running. 

I am going to attempt some of the parkruns in London and hopefully keep improving on my time.
