5km completed! Wow.

(My goal which got me running was to "run 5km".)

Finished in about 36 minutes after walking a bit where everyone walked uphill and I couldn't get round.

Really want to do a parkrun now so I can get a proper time and run the whole 5km on a measured route. Oh dear, I think I've become addicted!

Very well done RS. 36minutes on a hilly course,with some walking, is a pretty darn respectable time. You should be very proud of yourself :)
