Only myself, it’s a beautiful day for a run so off we went, let’s take it slow we said.... then realised our first k was pretty fast for us

Once we got to 3 k i wanted to see if i could keep it up, 3 k in under half an hour and putting in little sprints here and there

Willow gave up at just over 4k and is so happy to have run over 30 minutes with no knee pain

By then i was determined to get to 5k and pb of 47 minutes not fast but fastest yet and it’s creeping down towards 40 minutes

Have fun all you awesome runners out there

Congratulations, great run for both of you today W&S, nice that you are running ALL your runs together. 3K in half a hour is very good.

If you can get 3K in 20 minutes that is even better and a milestone for you, same with getting a sub 40 minute 5K, keep going and soon you'll get both😊👍

Great job to both of you. Good to hear that Willow’s knee was good, and many congratulations on your new PB.

Thanks UnfitNoMore the knee is so much better and he’s enjoying running so much more when he comes home without pain, I was thinking just a couple more laps of the park will get to 6k but decided not today

We are starting the magic plan on Sunday
