They don't run, they fly on land.

Did a new 5k route today. It included one steep hill and one long hill. I had to stop twice for large vehicles and still did it in 31.14

Well pleased with that, and next week will try 5k on a flatter route and feel sure I can go under 30 minutes.

Watched the ladies elite and then the mens elite London marathon.

Oh boy, the ladies did around 34 minutes for their 10k mark!!

They are a super human species and I just stared at the screen in disbelief.

Wow 5K in 31.14 is sounding pretty super-human to me at the moment. Well done on your time.

Shelley, the winner of the wheelchair race and those amazing Kenyan ladies are simply awe inspiring!

did you see the guy who sprinted to the finish for second in the men's elite? I was in awe

That's the bit in running where Laura asks for that 60 secs more effort that I resisted lol

Fab time!!! You are finishing your 5k when I still have 1 to go.....am in awe that you are so nearly at 30 mins (sure you'll get there on your next 5k). I'm now thinking of setting myself a 'time' goal for the park run as well as the actually making myself go with the hope it gives me the incentive to go faster - 35mins is the timing I'm going to aim (hope) for.
