I ran my first 5k this morning in 35.43. After the 1k I was ready to stop and walk but ploughed on, at 4K I thought come on let's try this and see how we get on and i did it! So my new goal is by Christmas to run 5k in under 30 minutes. I will of course keep you posted.

Happy Runday.

Congrats!! Well done! Brilliant. I've been running 5k since late September, and I've managed to get my time down to just under 33mins (that's 2mins off in about 6 weeks) so I'm sure you'll get there! Good luck.
