First Parkrun, 3 miles

Did my first Parkrun today! Running 5k at 9am on a Saturday morning would not usually be my first choice, but it was great fun. It was cold but fairly sunny, with a few drops of rain just after I finished the run. The results should be up on the website tomorrow, but I think I did it in about 32 minutes. It was quite challenging, as I haven't run with other people in a race-type situation for a while. Will definitely do it again when I can.

Update: my exact time was 29:24, hurrah! However, I was 141st out of 182 people which isn't so great! I think the next one I can go to will be Saturday 19th Dec, so I will have to aim to improve my place and time then.

*Update* Pictures from the day!
