I completed the 5K Parkrun on Saturday and ran the whole way, HURRAHHHHHHHH 🙂 . I was a bit slow, I’m still some way off my goal of 5K in 30mins, but I figured it was better to run the whole thing slowly than walk parts of it more quickly. I also came in faster than 10 other people, 10, I was amazed. Admittedly most of them were quite elderly, but not all (1 was a small child) and I know it’s not a race!
I’m still a bit unclear about my motivation for running but I definitely get a great sense of achievement from doing it even if I’m not sure that I enjoy it at the time.
Too Old to Run?
