Managed 5K today :-)

I've been back up to 30 mins for a couple of weeks but not managed 5k until today.Mind you it took me 40 minutes, probably a record breaker for the slowest run!

I now need to see if I can carry on further in preparation for Leeds Abbey Dash 10k next month. I'll be happy if I can get over half way without stopping.
