10k - finally!!

Finally ran my first 10k last night! 62 mins and 51 seconds! It's taken me quite a while to get this far - I started C25k back in March, achieved that within the 9 weeks but have found building up from 5 to 10k quite difficult. However, set myself a target of reaching 10k before my 40th birthday in January - so just made it!

I rarely post on here, but reading all the posts from everyone has been very reassuring and encouraging over the past 9 months!

Well done! My first was 69 mins, I tend to average 67 mins and my best ever was when I was half marathon fit at 65 mins so you're doing great! It's a huge milestone in your running career and always helps me have a 'fit for' target when I'm slacking off a bit! Enjoy the glory :-)
