I did it! First 5k completed 😁

Consolidation run 10 and my first 5k! So pleased with myself. Ran the same route as last weekend when I managed 4.66k. This time with my lovely 15 year old for company. Part way round I was worried that we had gone too fast but I pushed myself up a couple of the hills and loved the moment when we turned onto the homeward track through the mud and the leaves. The last 500m were tough but I was determined not to stop and got to 5k in a time of 38 minutes 😁😁

Still can't believe that I have done it when I think how slow I was just a few months ago at the start of C25K and remember how it took me 4 attempts to do the 20 minute continuous run. Now 20 minutes is my short run in the dark during the week πŸ˜‚

I know that I still have so much to learn but I am really loving it. Never thought that I would hear myself say that...
