Didn’t sleep great n woke up 90 minutes before the alarm so today’s 60 minute run was a bit of a tough one. Felt my energy flagging about a mile in so broke out the emergency raisins for a much needed boost. Nothing was stopping me today!

Settled into comfy pace after that, aided by a nice cool wind and a couple of showers. At 60 minutes I was at 3.04 miles and determined to hit my first 5k so carried on for another 1 minute 39 seconds to make absolutely sure

Actually did 3.13 miles in the end so thrilled to bits to finally reach 5k, almost 7 months on from my very first run. Yay me!!! 🎉🎉
