Today I ran my first 5k since graduating a few weeks ago. I usually run at 9.30 per km. and have been running 30 mins. I ran it in 9.59 mins per km. without stopping. Not very fast I know, but it felt a great achievement for me. I am so proud of myself at 62.๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

Congratulations. Well done. Iโ€™m currently running at 9.30 too and on week 9. Iโ€™d be very happy with that time for a 5k - something to motivate me to keep going and aim further after this week.

Iโ€™m sure I wonโ€™t either - and for me itโ€™s not about speed, itโ€™s about actually getting off my arse and doing something ๐Ÿ˜‚
