Today I went out for my first run post graduation. Plan was just to do 30 minutes but try and go a little further than I did previously. BUT....was feeling good at 2km so rather than turn round (was at the 15 minute mark) I kept going a little further. So today I ran for a 5.04km in 39 minutes. Can't believe I did the 5km or ran for an extra 9 minutes....9 minutes more than I've ever done before. WHOOOOOP WHOOOOOP
It's going to be a good day!!!!

That's fantastic! No wonder you felt so good. Have at least one rest day now!
Take the timing up slowly each week now; just a bit more each week for one of the runs.(ie. two runs of 30 and one of 36) I have seen a lot of people end up being injured because they have suddenly gone from 30 minutes to 50 minutes or an hour. It is always tempting to just push it that bit further, but the 10 % rule will save your knees.
