I ran my first ever 5k this morning. Got the mapmyrun app running in the background and just went for it. Finished in 37.58 minutes - very slow, but under the 40 minute barrier. But most of all I DID IT and I am so pleased!

Well done!

It's getting round that counts - and under 38 mins is not that shabby anyway. Good running!
