5.5k, what a surprise!

Last time out I really struggled, partly with the heat so managed the 30mins but just short of 4K. Today I thought I would do the treadmill and go slow but aim for increased running time. I find this easier as you can monitor your pace. The dam thing was set to miles but kept going, silently trying to remember conversion rates for kilometres. At 3.42 miles I had enough, 50 minutes running. Blow me when I got home i found thats 5.5km so pleased to have finally done it!!
