Looks like I finished. I would really like to thank everyone for their inspiration and advice. This is been one of the best things I’ve ever done. Didn’t quite make the 5K in 30 minutes but I was close. I bet I do it in the next couple of weeks though.

Really well done. Great achievement and lots of new running adventures ahead. Don't forget to get your badge...A bit worried about your heart rate though :)

Thank you. You know what they say. You have to have a heart to have a heart rate.😳

FroglegsGraduate in reply toFroglegs

Well of course. After the wine I will shop for the Lycra. That should guarantee I will buy something interesting.

Very well done Froglegs...🎉🎉🎉

Hop up to the podium😉 and take your applause👏👏👏👏

I have no doubt that that 5k marker will soon be reached. Some nice steady 30 min consolidation runs and you will get there...

You look great wearing your shiny new badge.😊xx

That's the insane bit, right?! You're busy going to yourself "Oh I want to do a full 5K" and then suddenly think, wait, is it really so recent that I was cursing the universe on a 2 minute run?! :D So many congrats!

That is the truth. I feel pretty confident I can run the full 5K now and I never would’ve believed that was a possibility before

FroglegsGraduate in reply toJen58

You will absolutely get there. If I can do it anyone can. I just keep remembering Churchhill saying never give up never never give up. That and everyone on the forum saying when it hurts slow down.😁
