Well, that wasn’t easy… but I DID IT!
A new parkrun PB this morning Hove Prom parkrun
22:27 on my watch, averaging 4:29/km, plus another 3K personal record of 13:20!
And to think, just last Saturday I was celebrating a 23:29 run and PR.
I didn’t even have my phone with me today. Just my watch and a determination to keep going when it got tough.
The conditions were gorgeous along Hove seafront, but I definitely had to work for this one, especially the last 2km!
What excites me most isn’t just the time. It’s realising that at 40, I’m still getting stronger, fitter and faster.
My 10-week challenge might be finished, but something has shifted in my mindset.
I’m no longer interested in focusing on what my body hasn’t achieved.
I want to see what it’s capable of.
And today was another little reminder that there’s so much more to come.
Next goal? Sub-20 minutes before the end of the year? Let’s see what’s possible!
