First 5km training this morning

I'm very very pleased with the first 5km run I did this morning. I did a 10km run last year and I was getting to 5km round about the 32 minute mark. Considering I haven't run much at all since about November, I managed 30 minutes and 28 seconds!!! Woop woop!!!

I said to myself today that I was not going to stop and was going to complete the 5km no matter what. Obviously 30 minutes to complete 5km is not exactly a fit person's timing (I think the Olympic record is about 12 or 13 minutes), but that's my start now. Each time I run, I will simply beat the previous time. Even if it's by 5 seconds. End of.

I need to start looking for those 5km running events to sign up to too. Due to some commitments, I won't be starting the first one until July, but I'll still make sure I do one every month for a year. I'll try finding one early in July as possible.

Positives:

• Completed the work out fully today, unlike yesterday's swimming and weights sessions
• Did not stop once during the 5km run (even though I might have gone down to a jogging pace, I never stopped or walked)
• Improved my previous time by approximately 1.5 minutes
