10k - I did it!!

[Julesk1]

I was following jujus programme and then got a bad cold for a couple of weeks meaning I didnt run... Then got back into it and hurt my foot! Since that happened about a week ago I've been determined to get to 10k.. I was upto 8k on the programme and when I got to the end of that I didn't feel too bad.. Last night was the night. It didn't feel great but I peserveered.. This was all on my treadmill too as there's nowhere nice to run round mine that I can get to easily.. Anyway, I didn't think I was going to make it, and it was slower than ever but I don't care, I did it! I usually run a km in 8 mins so I'm pleased with my time.. Need to work on my stamina and keeping a better pace but for a first effort I'm made up! I broke and dislocated my ankle over 10 years ago so have always been limited by that because my dorsiflexion isn't great.. 12 months ago I'd never ran more than a bath in my life so I'm amazed at what I've achieved! I did couch to 5k and now this.. If I can do this, anyone can!! Thanks for reading
