I have just invented a new colour Ultra-Magenta, it goes some way towards describing the colour of my face right now. It's hot and stuffy (it feels like I am breathing marshmallows). So I decided it was time for a run 😱. I just ran 5K in 39 minutes 15 seconds 🎉 I know many of you out there would class that as a walk in the park, which it probably is for some of you, but it's my first time running 5K and I am ridiculously proud of myself. Celebrating with a jam donut was probably not the best idea but it tasted sooooo good ☺️. Ever onwards 🏃🏃🏃🏃
What was I thinking!: I have just invented a new... - Couch to 5K
What was I thinking!

You should be really proud of yourself. (The doughnut sounds good....)🙂
39 minutes sounds a great time for 5K

Just like my wife's face at Parkrun running with 2 other ladies, they all finished together, and all had purple faces with purple t shirts, the ribena trio! 😂
tsk! tsk!
About 220 calories in the doughnut, a good part of what you burnt off! nice though occasionally!😊

Well done sounds like a very good time for your 5k. You earned the doughnut!

Well done Bundoodle , I think almost everyone of us would class 5k in 39 minutes as exceptional

A 5k at 39min/km is just as far as a 5k at 15min/km, so don't talk down your achievement, Bundoodle. And celebrating with a jam donut sounds like perfectly acceptable way of marking such a momentous event. Well done
