Back at the start of March, after an 8 month lay-off, I picked up where I left off on W2 and restarted my couch to 5k journey. Today, just shy of 4 months later, I ran 10k non-stop for the first time in my life with a time of 1:19:36.

It hadn't been my intention to run that far tonight. I was aiming for 8.5-9k but it just felt right and I kept going and, well, the result is what it is...

Feeling dead chuffed with my achievement, but I need to thank everyone on the forum for their encouragement and support at all points along this journey and (I'm sure) for the continued encouragement on what is still to come.

I'm off to give my poor legs a well earned rub down...
