I really didn't feel like running this morning, and even as I finished my warm up walk I was thinking, "What am I doing?" Strangely, I managed to knock about 3 minutes off my previous PB, and even better, I managed to keep my speed fairly consistent throughout (something which has been an issue for me). Just need to get a grip of this hayfever and maybe I'll finally nail the elusive 5km!
Expected a crap run but it didn't happen! - Couch to 5K

5k takes me 50 minutes Delilah but feels good to do it without stopping ( at least it does when its over !! )
