5k finally

[Annlucia]

After graduating many weeks ago I finally hit the 5k mark in 40 mins this morning. A lovely run ending with a couple of badgers scampering across the road. I never thought it was possible all those weeks ago that I would be able to run for 30 mins and 5 k seemed an impossibility . So happy and proud. All things are possible 😀

Good job. Not seen a live badger for years

Well done, you give me hope as I am stuck in 4k at the mo and don't feel I can run any longer

Hi Cheryl it has been a hard slog nearly two months after graduating and I was stuck at 4.2k. I seem to run better in the mornings when it is cooler and am now on holidays until September. Keep going you will get there.x

I prefer mornings too. I am off till September too so hopefully I can improve my speed/ distance 😁😁

Fantastic. Well done! And did the badgers do the full 5k too?

[Annlucia Graduate in reply to grumpyoldgirl]

No the badgers didn’t join me if they did I wouldn’t be able to keep up with them I’m more of a tortoise. Managed another 5.2k this morning do well pleased. No badgers dog walkers and squirrels for company😂

My goodness that was an early start, I love an early run if I can trick myself into getting up - sadly stuck on the injury couch and getting impatient now, it's nice to see other people progressing, it's keeping me in the right mindset.

Sorry to hear you have an injury don’t run until you are 100%. Love my early runs luckily one of my grandsons woke at 5.30 so was up early😂
