So after the disaster that was yesterday: healthunlocked.com/couchto5....... I was very cautious on this run going even slower than usual: 5K in 43mins.
But I am still really chuffed I can get my 19 stone man flesh around 5K regardless of the time. Rock on :-).
The run wasn't without incident:
- dog no 1 did a no 2 about 30 seconds in
- dog no 2 did a no 2 about 3 minutes in
- a helpful old lady assumed I had dropped the dog leads and so gave them back to me, not realising I lap the field 4 times and so leave dog 1 and 2's 'presents' in a little pile with the dog leads on top... I say helpful...
- a very unfriendly dog decided to square up against my very wimpy dog and the three yuffs couldn't physically pull him back so I had to separate them
- wow, the sun was hot - I really don't like heat....
So anyways, a great run in all and gave me back a bunch of 'peace of mind' after yesterday's fiasco.
5K - rock on!

Well done, im with you on the heat it was even getting too hot for me when i finished my run Sun morn at 7ish god knows what i will be like in the middle of the summer, i suppose i will have to wear shorts which the world ain't ready for.
It is great reading your posts. Good news that despite the best efforts of assorted dogs,old ladies and warm weather, you met your target and no injuries are holding you back! Went for my run later today since it is a public holiday and strolled out at 10. I was finding it too warm by the end but it was only a max of 19 degrees today so the idea of summer is worrying me a bit. Last summer was horrendous here, up to 40 degrees and no respite. Think a large scale invasion of Scotland might be called for.
It was a bit cheeky going out again today... Supposed to be 'respecting the rest' remember! Glad you got away with it and everything held up despite minor setbacks BUT be careful!!
Think I will do 5K 3 x a week for a while and then plan to follow the couch to 10K program that I've downloaded. Not sure I'll be able to but then I didn't ever think I'd be able to do 5!
