I finally did it, several weeks after graduating I have managed 5k. It took me fifty minutes (somewhat over the thirty I was running at graduation) but I went the distance.

Big congrats! I’m not too far behind you and manage now to run for 60 min at a time! I’m certainly better on distance than speed! 😀 Sounds similar to you! See you on LeJog!
