I ran 5k today!

[Saralexis]

Three weeks after graduation I think? I'd taken most of a week off with a rotten cold and this was the first day I felt I could run again- I hadn't intended to push myself for that reason, just to run 35 minutes as slow as necessary. I think the reason I edged over the 5k was because I made efforts to be kind to myself and keep the run as flat as possible which naturally speeded up my average pace. Anyway, I had a big grin across my face walking through the town on my warm down after I heard Runmeter give me my interval time. Must have looked like an idiot! Can't believe I went from barely managing a minute to running 5k without undue difficulty even through I'm not well in 12 weeks!

Well done Sarah. Its great how much stamina you have after completing the c25k program isn't it. I find the first 5 mins the hardest then settle into the run fairly comfortable. Yet to do 5k outside though. Congratulations on your 5k....

5k in 35mins is a great time for your first 5k
