Well I did it! just over 2 months ago I was a non-running, fairly unfit couch potato, now can run 5k in 30 mins. What a feeling! :D

Very impressive to be doing 5K in 30 minutes at the point of graduation! Well done.

Thanks Steve, yes I'm really suprised at the pace I've been able to do quite so quickly, my brother is also a runner ( yes I can call myself that now!) and he's done the London marathon, so perhaps it was in my genes all along - I just had to get my a**e off the sofa :)
