Well I did it! First proper 5k and quite happy with my time. It was a fantastic experience and running with so many others certainly encouraged me to keep going all the way. The sun shone and the views on the way round were stunning! May well sign up for next years one now.

Fantastic! Congrats, and well done :) Definitely sign up for next year, but also get another few in before then!

Also, where is the obligatory photo of you and your bling? :)

That's great! Good time, too. It's a beautiful setting isn't it? What will you go for next?

I did the 10k in the afternoon. And when I say I did the 10k, I mean I completed it. I had an awful lot of walking breaks as I'm not at all fit at the moment and have put on weight as well. I shouldn't have been doing at all but I had registered for it and my 4 pals were doing it. I'm not one to miss a weekend away and if a bit of running was the price, then that was a price worth paying - especially in view of the lovely weather.

Balmoral is an important part of my running story actually. (healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Well done on completing the 10k. I had heard about the hill in that one so decided to stick to the more achievable 5k! It's a fantastic setting and the lovely weather helped. I've not signed up for any more yet as most round here seem to be 10k. I'll have a quiet week and start looking for my next challenge after that.
