Ah well done you and very good luck for the graduation run. Hoping I get to the same stage next month. There are organised 5K runs you can join in with such as Park Runs or The Poppy Runs for the Royal British Legion. Or there is a 10k version of the C25K as well if you're up for a new challenge :)

Those options can seem overwhelming and I thought her post gives you the thought that it's okay to settle at a time and distance and get it sorted nicely before making your future decisions.

Certainly it's stopped me from being over enthusiastic and going for a 10 k in two weeks!

Not what you're looking for?
