How did that happen...5K in 33.49 this morning 😳😊

[Run46]

What can I tell ya, it can only be due to the planets aligning just right!...no wine last night coz I wanted to be nicely hydrated, a lovely 14 degrees and a bit of rain to keep me cool throughout. After all the heat we've had that's been making running so unpleasant it just felt good so I kept my pace up and ended up knocking just over 1 and a half mins off my PB!

Felt a few aches in my lower back and hip when I was stretching out after so I may pay for it tomorrow but none of us seem to be spring chickens on here so I guess that's par for the course while we strengthen up. Plenty of water and stretches over the next couple of days should see me ready for Tuesday evening's run 🏃‍♀️👍😁

That's amazing! I can only dream of achieving that. Congratulations!

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Perygl]

Thank you Perygl, it's a good feeling...I'm sure if you keep on after graduation you too will be managing 5K runs. I'll look forward to seeing you post about it on here 😊👍

Brilliant time! Nicely done 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Vintage61]

Thanks, so nice to be running in the cooler weather again 😊

[Vintage61 Graduate in reply to Run46]

Definitely, it was lovely out early this morning

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

Wow! I am in awe! 🙌

[Run46 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Oh behave...and thank you, that gave me a big smile 😁. I am 5.8 with reasonably long legs so I have genetics on my side, 5K in 30 minutes still seems a hell of an ask though doesn't it! 😳

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Run46]

Wish I had long legs! 😒

[Run46 Graduate in reply to MuddledGardener]

Lol, not much you can do there I'm afraid...unless, do they do platform trainers 🤔😉

[MuddledGardener Graduate in reply to Run46]

🤣🤣🤣

[NettieNoo Graduate]

We are not worthy! I'm aiming for that, but can't see it happening for a little while. Well done!

[Run46 Graduate in reply to NettieNoo]

Oh my goodness, lol...you SO are worthy! And thank you, it's taken a while to get here and feels good 😁.

You're doing really well so far, I'll look forward to seeing both your Graduation and 1st 5K posts 👍😊

[NettieNoo Graduate in reply to Run46]

Gird your loins - graduation report coming this week and then onwards to 5k in .... well I'd be pleased with anything around 40 mins to start.

[Run46 Graduate in reply to NettieNoo]

I'm looking forward to it...and completing your 1st 5K without passing out at the front door is a bonus 😂...enjoy 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Yes indeed Run46, that excellent time of 33.49 for your 5K run was certainly caused by the aligning of the planets, perhaps even the last recent partial eclipse of the 🎑 moon had something to do with your run as well. 🏃 😊

Congratulations. 😊 🏃

[Run46 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks AlMorr 😁👍

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Brilliant 5k time well done you 😊

[Run46 Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thanks, it felt good...like I was actually running! C25K is such a positive experience and just the start for all of us😁
