I accidentally ran 5k today. It was meant to be week 9 run 2 and I was slightly dreading the 30 mins but once I started, I seemed to get into a lovely pace, the morning was beautiful and I actually (almost) forgot I was running. I'm no speedster and when 30mins arrived, I'd covered about 3.6km. I was feeling so good that I decided to keep on going and I actually made it to 5k in 44 mins and 24s. It felt momentous, like I'd crossed this huge barrier. I feel like my day should be different somehow, maybe a fanfare as I walked back through my front door or a special hat I get to wear for the day π! I may have to go and buy myself something running related to celebrate (any excuse)!
