      That is awesome! Congrats!!! How long have you been running? I wore my Pure Cadence in an obnoxious pink and got first in Masters (my first race in that age category!) in 20:54 which is a PR that I have recorded for a 5k! Not bad for 75 degrees and humid though :)

      Hi Tracey, about 4 years, but it was only last year my friends convinced me to join a running club and compete in races. Prior to that I used to run on my own purely for fitness.

      It was a tough run butI finished in 31st place out of a field of 297 parkrunners and came 2nd in my age category VM50-54. I achieved an age-graded score of 75.06%.

      I have a half marathon to run today (Sunday) but won't be wearing my new trainers, gonna save them for May Day 10K :)

      I just can't run fast in that kind of heat :)
