Second 5km Completed!

I'm very pleased with my latest 5km run from last night. I managed to complete the run in 34 mins and 22 secs, almost 4 mins fast than my last time!!!

It was a very, very tough course because it was quite hilly and had lots of different gradients. This one was a proper 'race' as opposed to a 'fun run', so it had people in their from professional/amateur running teams.

I decided to stick with a couple of the slower people at the back to pace myself, but then I got a bit cocky and went ahead of them half way through the race, only for them to catch up and overtake me when I ran out of steam towards the end.

Here's how it stands so far:

July 5km - 34.02
August 5km - 30.22

September and October races have also been booked, bearing in mind October's is a 10km obstacle course, not a 5km run. If I can find a 5km run towards the end of October, I may consider doing that too, but I won't get too boosted just yet!

Eating and exercising going very well, hopefully will be pleasantly surprised for the next weigh in on September 1st.
