Firstly i'd like to thank all of you who posted a message on my last blog for all your support and encouragement for my FIRST ever 5k on sunday.
I managed a time of 45 mins, not fast i know but i did it!!! It was such a wonderful day, sad, poignant, uplifting but above all FUN. It was that much fun i've already signed up for the 10K next year!!!
It was hard going but doable. All i could think about was the other C25Kers and how far we all have come and that spurred me on. I came to the last 200 meters which was a slight hill but felt like a mountian! I wanted to stop as was absolutley shattered and as i turned the corner there were about 10 of my family members cheering and shouting for me and my cousin, who also did it. I nearly burst into tears and thought 'i can't stop now' and we semi sprinted to the finish line! Where we found the energy from i'll never know.
Thank you to everyone for their inspirational blogs and all your support.....
Couldn't have done it without you xxxxx

Well done justtom, i remember how sore i was the first few runs. Try to do some light stretching before and after and i always made sure i had a bit of a soak afterwards too!
I honestly can't believe that 7 weeks ago i was struggling with w1r1 and i've just done a 5K!! No matter how hard it feels at times just do your best and if you have to repeat a run oh well, most of us have at least 1 we struggle with!
