Week 9 run 1, 5k smashed!

So due to a mix of getting a cold which affected my asthma and bad weather, it had been awhile since I'd run. I went out today with no expectations except to enjoy the early morning peace, no mad cyclists to dodge. After 5 mins I knew it would be a good run as I was at a comfy but faster pace than usual. I just concentrated on singing while I watched the wildlife on my run. Before I knew it, I'd run half way and I knew it was further than I usually am at that point. This gave me an added boost and when jo said 60s I sprinted to the end. So happy when I saw 3.2 miles ran! Never expected to run for 30 mins let alone 5k!
