5k!!!!!!

Post by Ian »

I'm over the moon. I just ran a little over 5k in around 32 minutes. I know I'm not supposed to yet (w8r1), but I couldn't resist. Just 2 mins to shave off the time over the last two weeks and I'll be doing a 30min 5k! I can't believe I can actually run for 5k non stop. What an amazing feeling.

PS. Burger and taco chips the night before a run not a really good idea. ;-/

That's fab!! I can do 5k in about 40 mins run/walking, but can't wait to be able to do it running all the way!

Fantastic, well done! Don't worry about doing it 'before the time' - the important thing is that you've done it!

Are you ready to run in a race yet? This http://www.poppy-run.com/ 5k race is taking place on Sunday across the country - join me in my first race!

It looks like my first 5k race will be September. (jingle bells 5k in Dublin). No poppy races here. Very few 5k events in general as far as i can see. Doing the Dublin marathon on Monday. That was my whole reason for starting this. I will be walking of course, but a few weeks ago I couldnt have walked that far. I'll run it next year now that I'm enjoying running. I'm looking forward to an improvement in my running again because I had a really hard session today.
