Finally ran 5k in 30 mins something (at Parkrun)! And it just happens that I graduated C25k two years ago today (thanks to fb memories for reminding me πŸ˜€).

A bit of along ole process, But got there. Regular three times a week running - sometimes four now I've discovered Parkrun - shows what you can do.

So any newbies, please don't think this running business is a race, it isn't. Just keep on running, enjoying it, reaping the benefits - it's amazing β˜ΊπŸƒβ˜ΊπŸƒ

Oh well done! I've sort of given up on that aim so it's really encouraging to hear that you've made it!

Many, many congratulations ! (Never made it that fast myself so slightly envious but kudos to you)

Hi Pinky! Looking good there matey!

So glad your running is going well. Great int it when all goes to plan and you can run and have fun. Makes you feel so alive

I am off running at the mo with a stupid calf pull or something

Can't wait to get back to it though. I am seriously having withdrawals.

Many more running years to you Pinky. Here's to the next one. Cheers me dear x
