Ran 5K for the first time ever!!! :)

[Lyndz7]

Ok so I'm on W8R2, so was slightly naughty but I felt good so carried on and managed 5K for the first time ever! Managed it in 39 minutes, definitely not the fastest but I can work on that

Hi Lyndz7, well done on w8r2 and doing 5K , time isn't to shabby either sounds like you have the affliction like the rest of us poor souls here , you are luvin running

Thankyou. Yes! I've definitely got the running bug and I seriously never thought that would happen

Whisper it ever so quietly *Parkrun, Parkrun* You'll love it

[Lyndz7 Graduate in reply to 5kOrBust]

Haha yes I want to try a park run! I'm not very good at running first thing in the morning so I'm going to work up to a park run for April.

Well done Lindz, 5k in week 8! You've cracked it. Congratulations and enjoy the next week and a half!

[Hidden]

Lol. It's not naughty. I did the same on run 3 week 8. I'm sure others did extra running when feeling good. It's great to do that first 5K. Keep going and enjoy.

Oh it's so hard to resist that one isn't it lol But I think it gives you a tremendous boost to know that you can do it, so well done you. Naughty but nice

[Lyndz7 Graduate in reply to hilbean]

Haha it is! But it's majorly boosted my confidence to know I can do it

[lynne7 Graduate]

Wow, well done! I did W8R2 today too and ended up doing 30 minutes but only managed 3.8km. I know it's not about speed or distance but I think we are all naturally competitive and want to see the stats improve

[Lyndz7 Graduate in reply to lynne7]

That's a good time! You'd get 5K done 40-45 min at that time! Well done to you too, it's so addictive and tempting to do more than what Laura says!

Wahey Lyndz ! Blimey thats good, Well done !

The running bug has well and truly bit by the sounds of it.

Keep going, youre doing great ! xxx
