Well I felt that extra 3 mins lol......even though I know I've come so far I do feel that I'm not going to do 5K I'm only doing 2 to 2.5 miles is this because I'm slow and if so does it really matter after all 8 weeks ago I couldn't even run for the bus and here I am now running nonstop for 28 minutes

Fantastic! Isn't it wonderful to have reached W8? And well done on focussing on how far you've come, rather than worrying about speed - that's my outlook too!🙂

Got it one, its a heck of an achievement, very few of us make the 5k I think I read it is about 10% of us for graduation, so you're amongst good company.

Nicely done
