So after graduaing on Tuesday with a 4k I felt it was time to try and get my first 5k under my belt tonight

time was 40 mins dead so not going to be worrying Mo Farah any time soon, but the feeling of acomplishment was exquisite.

All i need to now is learn to smile a bit when taking a selfie, but this was the best i could do at the time :)

Nice selfie... have you considered fronting a metal band?

Way to go on the 5k, Mo may not be worried, but he’d be proud of you.

Ha ha, I used to be in a Metal band in my youth. Actually it's normally the music I run to as well, but I went for some 80's retro tonight

Cool... so a bit of thrash and Mo will be worried! Congrats again... and you’ll be under 30 in no time.
