Failure or success?

Just completed 5k in fastest time ( a shade under 33 minutes) but didn’t run it all, started out at just sub 30. Min pace, lasted about 2k then had to slow down and eventually walk for a couple of minutes but then started jogging again and finished quite strongly, so was that a failure or a success?

A success, considering you walked a little and ended in that time, yes a success, well done.

A Pb is a Pb. However you get to it. 😀.

What pleased me most was starting to run again after taking the breather, a few weeks ago I would have shrugged my shoulders and given up, am loving this new found mental resilience
