Finished with the 5k run today. Teeny tiny bit faster because I know I have 5.5k in my legs now lol. So a new personal best which still remains a depressingly large number lol.

The 5k runs are getting easier though, which is great. It gives me hope of finishing : )

James Brown came on at just the right time with "I feel good" at the end when I was considering slowing down and gave me a good boost, so thanks to the random shuffle music gods !

On to next week !

Good work. It’s true that James Brown can always be relied on. And soon you will have 10k in your legs.

Yay well done! I did my 6k from week 2 yesterday morning, surprised myself in my ability just to keep going!
