Oh my god, oh my god, oh my god !!!!!

I am so, so incredibly excited!

Life, the universe and everything has been shit today. So much so, that I spent a good portion of the afternoon curled up in a foetal position in bed, wishing it would all just go away. My husband came home and made me put on my running gear and go out. Not sure if I'd have done it without his encouragement.

Anyway, I did the elusive 5k in 30 minutes (just over 5k in fact)! Misery obviously motivates me. It's the fastest I have ever run in my life. Average pace 5'42, but at one point it was 4'45!! Total run 5.8k in 33 minutes. The furthest I've ever run and the fastest I've ever run. Don't know how, but I'm still buzzing.

Thank you. He's a good one, for sure. He started running with me months ago, but had to stop due to cronky knees. I miss having him as my running buddy, but he's been incredibly supportive in his role as encourager / driver to pick me up / all round good bloke.

Superb! Sometimes I find that the days where I feel really crap and I really am not in the mood are the best run days. Well done you for getting out and smashing it! 💪🏻😁

Oh, I hope so. Terrified it might just have been a one off. If it is, it was great, but I want to do it again! Maybe because of the crappy day previously, but it made me really quite emotional. Powerful stuff, this running lark.

It is very powerful, and a great tool for dealing with daily crap and mental health (and hormones!) It won't be a one off, trust me 👍🏻😉

That is fast! Well done! Running is the best medicine for having a sh*t day. But getting out when you feel like that is so hard!
