5K at last!

Graduated a couple of weeks ago and been using stepping stones, running 30 minutes to Laura's beat then tacking a bit more on the end when possible. Today I ventured off my usual safe flat cycle/walking track along the river valley and ran up over the downs, actually getting my shoes dirty! The wind was against me, of course, but as I flew down the hill I actually felt like a real runner at last. I ran right on through Laura's cool down walk and then a couple more minutes. Back home, checked my route and delighted to find I'd run my first 5K! Elated!

Amazing. It sounds like you really forgot yourself in the running. Onwards and upwards :)
