That's a great move Phil - I find the communal element of ParkRun makes it so much more enjoyable and easier to stick with.

After having to stop and start for the past 6 months I finally feel like I'm back.  First run today has been one of my slowest but it still made me happy :)

Yes it does feel good doesn't it! and so encouraging to  have enough residual fitness to do achieve such a good time even after a 5 months break!  I hope you get some new PBs soon.

Well done Liz - its getting out for those first few runs after a break that can be the hardest thing to.  Hope you manage to keep going - you'll soon be geting some PB;s !

Thanks louise.

Just been out for my 3rd run and the times are starting to improve. Under 20 mins for 2 miles. Feeling great and can't wait til next run.

Well done John.  Its the mental decision to get out there that can be the hardest!   You've done it before so you have a head start.  Just think of all those new PB's you can set on the way!

Hi All,

Ive just been out for my first run in over 6 months. No excuses just havent really been wanting to, but after gaining a little more weight than I should i've decided its time to get back out there.

Just run 2 miles in 22 mins, so not fast but I was happy with how i felt. Last half mile was a little hard but about what I expected. Got a way to go before Im back to where I was 2 years ago, but i determined to get there.

John
