Reached 5k at last! πŸŽ‰

I graduated a month ago and achieved 3.8km on my graduation run.

Today I went for a run with a plan of trying to better my last Saturday run of 4.3km by a little bit. I got to 4.3km and felt ok. I went slower today so I’d already run for longer time wise. I aimed for 4.5km and once I reached that I just decided to keep going to see what I could manage and to my delight I got to 5.1km! I was buzzing on the warm down walk and couldn’t wait to get home and tell my husband I’d done it! I’m not sure if I’m more shocked that I reached 5k or that I ran for 41 minutes without stopping!
