The full 5K at last!

Definitely did it today. I thought I did a couple of weeks ago, but when I checked the route with Map My Run, it was only 4.9.

Today I checked and kept running (very slowly) until the evil machine registered 5!!!!! Whoopee.....

Didn't half need a bath and a pint of water though!

Fantastic, well done. How frustrating to have stopped just short. I have done exactly the same, and at a time that would have been a PB.

Now, I just try and run just a little bit further than I think, and make sure I 'run for fun' :-)

You betcha! Especially as the immersion heater was broken for the last two days - only mended yesterday... :)

Well done! I have had exactly the same problem. Graduated but had to extend the run to 40 mins to do 5k. It is hard work but now we can feel smug! Keep going now.
