Week 8 run 2

I have just completed W8R2 and according to my Fitbit I covered 4.6 km so 5k in 30 mins is looking possible! 4 runs left to go until graduation!

I am so chuffed with my progress, just over 18 months ago I smoked over 20 fags a day and was out breath if I ran 10 metres!

Go Dave! Not many people graduate with 5k in thirty minutes, so you're doing brilliantly, nearly there now!

Thanks, to be honest I have suprised myself how far I have been able to run. The last time I ran any distance was at School and that was 27 years ago!
