Went out for my usual run at 420 this morning taking advantage of the cool of the morning. At my usual field that I run around I intended to do the 8 laps, which is 32 minutes or 2.5 miles.
As I reached the time I still felt good, so I decided to try for a longer time to try and get a 5k time.
Well, i can say I completed 3.2 miles in 45 minutes. Feeling quite proud even now.
Back to my normal 8 laps next week and then on weekends try for 5k.

Brilliant and well done, it's a lovely feeling isn't it? I have managed 3 since I graduated at the end of May and am slowly getting a bit faster, so did the last one in 35 minutes whereas the first one took 41 minutes. I usually just do 30 minutes but if I feel good at that point I carry on a bit. Enjoy x
Seems I have found my natural pace, not fast but 0.3mile done in about 4minutes over 11 times this morning and each time with a few seconds of each other.
