Thatโ€™s a good one! Mind you, took me 40 minutes to do 5k!

Took me 42:40 minutes, but I was on a roll yesterday! Ran faster than I did in the past months. Normally should have taken me 46 minutes. I hope to reach 6.5 km in 60 minutes.

Everyone has their own pace Iโ€™m finding but to take over 3 mins off is fabulous! Iโ€™m normally a little bit faster, but I just wanted to complete it so wasnโ€™t going to rush!

I never thought Iโ€™d become a runner and here we are 12 weeks since starting c25k!

First 5K is fantastic news. One thing I have learned is not to go for PBs for every run. You probably learned that ages ago! Sometimes they just happen, sometimes they don't. Sometimes you can plan for a PB and it works, sometimes it doesn't. Have fun.

Tbh at this stage Iโ€™m just happy to have completed it. I wasnโ€™t concerned with time, just distance - having said that, I would like to knock some time off down the line but not concerned either that at the mo ๐Ÿ‘
