So I graduated on Thursday and decided that I would try my first public event. See how I coped with other people watching me run. So I turned up registered.

Started off at a steady pace, felt as if I was lagging behind however I held my own on a steady pace. Didn't look at walkmeter at all until the end when is actually run 5.62km, it had taken me 38mins... What impressed me though was I had a PB and was running a mile in 11minutes. Chuffed to pieces!!!
