Hope you don't mind me jumping your thread GH, but today I did my first 5k too. Wasn't as fast as you, but I'm happy just to have hit that milestone. Like you, it was only a few months ago that going round the block nearly killed me. Pats on the back all round!!

Brilliant mac.
the fact that you (& me) did it is an achievement in itself!

Thanks for the advice TT.
I'll need a recovery run (if thats what it is) I think. Last week on Friday my legs just wouldn't work

Yep it's a recovery, it should help no end, let us know how you get on.

Bird in Boots Oh what have I done FLM09

Will do TT.
And thanks again

Well done on the run Mac.

Whats next ??

Probably a nice glass of red wine in the name of celebration.

Seriously though, I think I'll just work on doing the same run now a few times to see if I can get a bit faster. It was great to get to the point that I used to think was a long way and still be running away from my house!
