Well done Rob, your first 5k, that's a fantastic milestone and brilliant achievement ! Very windy and rainy here tonight. Did my run this evening, very hard when you are running against the wind.

Never mind, chilling out now with a nice cuppa tea :-) xxx

Congrats and well done Rob - now the monkey has gone you will get better and better and it will get easier and easier. Build slowly to that 10K - I just mix it up a bit - one run to push the distance, one to push the time and one to push the speed - but never forget that we are here to enjoy ourselves and that means taking it steady. Brilliant stuff :)
