Because I now expect to be able to do it I keep forgetting we're still newbies and it isn't easy! I have the memory of a goldfish and am surprised every time it's difficult. I find the first 5 mins hard, then I find my rhythm, then I have a short 'sweet spot' where it feels rather good, then I have the rest when it's hard work again. My next goal is to consolidate until I find 5km easy and I'm not last at park runs etc.

You're doing ace and we're busy squeezing up so there's room for you on the podium. See you there soon!

Yes you are right we are still newbies and need to carry on taking things slowly, from there we can get to wherever we want to be. Yes make that little space for me my running friend x
