I thought I'd use the forum to celebrate something, rather than whinge, which is my natural demeanour! I'm also not very good at posting stuff regularly, so thought today is a good excuse.
I wasn't really looking forward to running tonight, felt a bit rubbish. So I kind of made a weird promise to myself, that I'd go for a pb to make it worth my while. I graduated in June and did a race for life then in 35 minutes and something, Since then I've managed to shave a minute a month off the time and today i'm down to 32:32! I was nearly crying but that's besides the point!
I so hope it can continue till December for a sub 30 min 5k, I somehow doubt that may be the case though....

Yay Slowworm! I'm sure you'll get there with your times - just be careful you don't overdo things. I'm still amazed by how much I've come on in 10 weeks!
That's great going slowworm, well done. Have you tried the C25K+ podcasts. I have used them since graduating, and I use my own music too, and they have helped me to get my time down. I graduated in April and finally I have a PB for 5km of 29.15. I took it slow and just kept running. 1 minute a month is fantastic. Maybe you should reconsider you username...
I have, but not for a while, I may go back and try them again. Well done on your time, that 30 minutes seems such a milestone. In my heart I think I'll always be slowworm!
Great to hear how you turned last night around, and got that new PB. I'd say you well on course for a sub 30-minute result soon. I have always achieved my PB's on a Park Run, which is a great way to do it. I just run along side someone whose pace feels about right, and then see how it goes.
Keep it up, and keep blogging the good days and the bad days.
I've always been a bit intimated by the thought of a park run, our one generally doesnt have anyone running more than 30 mins. I know that in reality it would be fine for me to turn up and run anytime, I just wanted to get below 30 mins before I tried it? I think I'll make that a new years resolution perhaps, either way....
