Week 8 Day 1 Done. And timing 5K of actual running.

Went out for Week 8 Run 1 this morning on a beautiful, beautiful day! It felt hard work up till about half way but after that I felt much better. It's pretty hot here this morning - already 21C so guess this could account for it.

I thought I'd be able to keep going a bit longer than the schedule because I felt pretty good before I headed out, so for the first time I timed myself actually running 5K (started timing after 5mins of warm-up walking) and I'm pretty happy with my time of 36mins. I don't think that's too bad! I'm not going to be in a hurry to beat this time - once I graduate I think I'm going to concentrate on slowly increasing distance - I'm never going to be a sprinter I don't think!

That's a great time for pre graduation, well done. I graduated ages ago and not near that time, but I am a definite plodder. Happy running.
