Today was my Run day on my 5K every day for January. I walked the 5K for the last two days as my calf was sore. That was a good decision. I managed to run the full 5K this evening. First full 5K run in over 2 months. It was not fast but I am thrilled, did it in 35:51.5 , I’ll take that. Good to be able to run 5K again.

Happy running everyone.

Damien

Seems like a reasonable time to me :)

Great achievement! Over a third in :)

Cheers. Yes that’s right 1/3 in. It’s been a good challenge so far. The Christmas belly is starting to disappear.😀

Well done damien, thats a good time for a 5k and its great that you are only running every other day at most too.

Take it easy, and listen to your body, that is a big ask. Don't risk injury.xxx

Thanks Jan. yes I’m being careful not to over do it. I’m going to do a Parkrun tomorrow and walk the 5K on Sunday and Monday.
