First full 5k run!

So I actually just carried on running at my own comfortable pace regardless of time, and covered 5.27 km in 39 mins. Who ever thought I'd be running 5k? Certainly not me! 😁 (the dip is when I stopped to remove an annoying stone from my treads!)

Congratulations! Hope you are feeling very very chuffed with yourself 😁 I had a similar run on Sunday and managed 4.66km in 37.5 minutes so it's lovely to read about you heading that magical 5k. Thank you for the inspiration
