Well after a week off running for a lovely impromptu holiday in the sun I've finally done a 5K. Just over 37 minutes which I'm pretty chuffed about.

Good this running lark isn't it!

Snickers cheesecake anyone? :-D

oh dear!

But, well done and you'll love parkrun when you get a chance to do it.

Hmm. An alarming trend for C25-ers - cakes to celebrate. Mind you, a darn good reason to get running in the first place... ;)

Well done Sazzle.

My impromptu event last week was a broken boiler so am feeling just a tad jealous.
