Consolidation Run 3

I decided to begin my real journey to 5K tonight by adding a couple of minutes onto my usual 3.5K. I figured a good starting point would be to make it to 4K, so as the halfway bell rang, I carried on for another 2 minutes and times it perfectly to make it back to my starting point having done a smidge over 4K in just under 34 minutes. Really pleased as I felt like I could have carried on. The first 15 minutes were hard but after that I settled into my pace and was so engrossed in my podcast only caught the last few words of Mapmyrun telling me I was 20 minutes in!

I know I can do this now. Give me a couple of weeks and that 5K will be mine!
