The dreaded R3!

So this was planned for today and not well planned at all! In addition to having a later night than anticipated and far too much beer I headed into work with a bottle of water and determination.

Work then erupted in craziness and I was so busy I didn't know where to look - before I knew it it was time and I hadn't even had a chance to psych myself up - but thought 'sod it' and set off.

Like lots of people have mentioned, the first 5 mins seemed to take ages and I was suffering from a mini-stich in the middle of my ribcage (thanks for nothing, beer). And at one point i had a knee twinge. But I just kept trotting away and before I knew it I only had 5 mins left so I picked up the pace to more like what general society would have considered 'running'

But: DONE! Ap said I did 3k (without the walks before and after) so feel like if I pick up the pace 5k in 30 mins isn't unachievable with some graft.

Bummer is that back in work and so much to do I promptly forgot I did it and didn't get a chance to feel chuffed. Well until now!

That's brilliant, well done. You probably benefited from not having too much time to think about it. Yep, you'll be doing that 5k before you know it!

Thanks Hennith! I think yours is tomorrow right? Good luck with it! I'll be keeping an eye out for your post!
