First 5k Woo Hoo ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Hi, I graduated on Thursday, 4.23km...it was in the awful heat and humidity...

Today, first consolidation run I did my first 5k in

⭐️⭐️37.08minutes⭐️ Pace 7.23⭐️⭐️

That really has made all the difference and put a great big smile on my face😊

So sorry I really am so excited, I just can’t hide it!!!

Thank you Ian...Doesn’t it just feel good !

I thought it would take me ages to get to 5k...

I still think it’s a fluke so will need to get a few under my belt now!

Well done you too, with everything that happened on your journey it’s just amazing where you are now! A Woo Hoo to you too⭐️

Thanks Chrissie !

I have managed 3 now , I was going to run this morning but didn't wake up in time 😂

[Hidden in reply to Instructor57]

Aww, The good thing is there is always another time Ian 😊

[CBDB Graduate]

Oh well done!!!! Yes, shout it out! What an achievement!

I’m also constantly thinking of getting myself some T shirts with my various running successes, but they are starting to come hard and fast! I would have to get quite a few, now. It sounds like your on the same path!

Well done!!! Go runner. 🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏿‍♀️👏🏾👍🏽

Well done Chrissie a fantastic time too xxx

[Hidden in reply to rosie2shoes]

Thank you Rosie2shoes, I seem to remember it was you that gave me the inspiration to carry on, as that’s what you did. I couldn’t have done it on the graduation run as it was too hot, luckily it was cooler this morning...So thank you 😊

You don't need to apologise for being excited for running your first 5K, sub 40 minutes, very good, congratulations, next time you run a 5K might be around the 35 minute time 🏃🏾👍

[Hidden in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr, I’ll see what I can do 😊🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done chrissie589 👏🏻👏🏻 first 5k in the bag, great time too. Next goal sub 30 5k perhaps 🤔 When I did my first 5k my time was same as yours and I gradually reduced it over the following weeks until I got there in 29:55, if I can do it anyone can and it’s a good challenge following graduation. I bet you’ll be smiling for the rest of the day 👍

[Hidden in reply to Couchphoenix]

Thank you Couchphoenix

Yes! I am still smiling...😊

Thank you also for the help, it’s good to know the next steps...

Great idea, thanks again 🏃🏻‍♀️
