Only 1 run to go!!

The Garmin says I've cracked the 5 km in 5 minutes, however looking at the map it shows me running through gardens and fields for the first mile. I can either pretend that I did this (makes the run really impressive :-) :-) ) or admit the GPS was out and dismiss the time.

Either way, really happy to have got to this stage in C25K and looking forward to the Graduation parkrun on Saturday.

Off on holiday on Sunday and have my running shoes packed ready. :-)

Never mind. Runkeeper once had me doing 14k in 25 minutes - I'm still awaiting a call from the olympic selectors!

Enjoy your graduation run on Saturday!

Good luck for the final run!!!! I have a couple of holidays / trips away planned and half of the excitement building has been planning the routes I am going to run whilst away! Who'd have thought you'd be packing running shoes in your holiday bag :)

I have a 2.5 km route planned out! So a couple of laps should be great. Mrs OG thinks I'm mad!
