Week 8 completed this evening, should’ve run last night but there was some random footy match on and beers in the fridge.

Run2 of week 8 was a bit of a fight so I decided to hit run3 head on, 1st k done in 5.11 but slowed a little for the next few. Hit the 28 minute finish mark and checked distance 4.87K !!! So close to 5 so kept going with a 5k finish time of 28.53k

Chuffed to bits at the time, never gone that fast and in touching distance of 30 mins. final 3 runs start on Saturday with a planned graduation of next Wednesday evening. Never thought I’d say it but looking forward to getting back out!

Wow, a sub 30 minute 5 k! Well done! So nice to have the confidence that you can do it.

Good luck for those last runs.
