My 5km event was today but with going back a week to jog outside and other obstacles I wasn't up to the end of the programme in time, so I did the podcast I was up to until last 5 minutes and then started again. I managed 5km in 42 minutes! Feels so good, just need to finish the final couple of runs :) so pleased. Thank you all for your messages, they remind me I am not the only one going through this :)

Thank you I am, but been inspired now and booked in for a 10km in October! Hope I am not trying run before I can walk if you get me! :)
