Hello you wonderful people, I haven't posted for a bit but have been very busy running 5ks , I have been gradually increasing and tonight I hit 10 k in 55 mins 57 secs! Wow!!!!! Was I surprised when I stopped! Considering only a few months ago I wouldn't have dreamt of running any where. All you guys out there struggling in the early weeks of the plan , keep going it gets easier and feeling fitter and lighter is simply great. Thanks for reading. 😁😁

Excellent, I want to try for that 10k somewhere along the line once I get a bit more comfortable with the 5k. What a buzz doing this!

Sub-60 for 10k is a real milestone.

To be a full four minutes under that is terrific, well done.
