Just got back from my first 5k! Managed it in 31:42 which I'm delighted with!

I can't even think what else to say, I'm too dazed!

Arggggggggggh!!! :D

That's a model to follow! Congrats. What is your secret?!

I'm not sure I have a secret, my motivation to get fitter is to join the police, so I pretend the guys running the police fitness exam are waiting just ahead with a timer when I'm feeling particularly rubbish, and that usually makes me pick up the pace! Remember your motivation is the trick there I suppose!
