Today I finally ran my fifth 5k. I’d come up short a couple of weeks back and only ran two 3kms (although I also done some fartleks afterwards). Last week I didn’t do my normal tues/thurs runs thanks to storm Ellen and my plantar fasciitis playing up. So Sunday’s run I stopped after 4K as I didn’t want to push myself too much after missing two runs. Then this morning I finally ran another 5k and I’m also very happy with my time. I really took my time but I think my fitness must be getting better as each km is under 6 min 30. The only reason my fourth km falls short is I had to stop and let a cyclist past on a narrow part of my run. Now for some breakfast before work. Just realised it’s a PB too. Even more happy.
