Just back from my first post grad run and I made it to 5k! Time was 31:47min - I'm so chuffed! Can't actually believe it. Starting to feel like a real runner!

Thanks all for the support. Hi Genome, I'm thinking that I'll just keep running 5k at the moment and try to do it consistently in around 30 mins - I think the fact that this was my first morning run in ages made a difference, as hubby and I usually run in the evenings after work. Not sure that I'll reach 5k after a hard day at work haha! Not too sure how to proceed after that though. I'm going to read more on the 5k + section to see what my next steps might be. Any suggestions very welcome!
