I can now do 5K! The first time I ran it, it took me over 38 minutes, but that has already come down to just over 34 minutes within a couple of weeks. Wayne and I have entered the Tewkesbury Fun Run (5 miles/8 kilometres) on 22nd May, so my aim now is to increase the distance I can run, so that I'm getting up towards 8K.
I have started a new program called "One Hour Runner", which involves doing 3 runs a week - 2 shorter ones and a long one at the weekend. Wayne is going to do the long one with me. I was slightly gutted to find when he came out with me yesterday, that he can do 5K too, having done no running training at all (though he does go to the gym 4 times a week doing resistance and cardio). He even said that he'd have gone a bit faster and could have kept going longer!
Anyway, I'm really pleased with the progress I've made and can't quite believe how much better I've got in such a short space of time. Running rocks!
