Well I did it! Was out sting yesterday and thought... hmmmmm I will continue my route around this corner and back home (though there was a number of god awful inclines!)

I kept going and completed my first 5km with a five minute warm up and a warm down at the end.

35mins 36secs. I am over the moon!!!! I can't quite believe that I would manage it and I didn't care one jot about passing cars! Where ever you are in your journey keep it up!!!
