Not Quite a 5K

I did Week 8, run 1 yesterday, and it was so hot! I need to run earlier! But I went the farthest I've gone yet - 2.93 miles (or 4.7 k) in 38 minutes. I also told a friend about the program, and he was really excited about it. He's starting this week. We've agreed to do a triathlon next year (a mini tri - 12 mi bike, 5k run, 400 m swim).
