sorry in advance but im well chuffed for myself and had to share, as some know ive been doing a lot of running and HII training, well the other week i ran my first 9k in just under and hour and last week i did my first sunderland park run its a 5k fun run and managed a time of 28:54 which was not bad for a beginner and i came 84th out of 120 people

 

but today i did it again and managed a time of 25:51 and came 69th out of about 120 people

 

might be slow to some but in feb when i bought my first pair of running shoes i couldnt manage 200 yards without stopping so to say im chuffed is an under statement

 

got a 13k run to accomplish on monday but i think im working so may miss it, will be another milestone if i do it though

 

never thought i could enjoy running as much as i did when i was a kid

 

chuffed

You've done well mate and proved that it's not just a fad for you. Been on your health kick for while now and you've done great sticking to it. I always end up letting that sort of thing slip.

i always did, its amazing how kids change your life lol. been doing it since feb and loving it

another personal best, just got a 23:25 10 seconds off my previous PB

 

getting better every week

well after being stuck at around 23:30ish for so long ive really picked up my training lately and smashed my pb of 23:16 by 1:03 and got a new 5k pb today of 22:13 im well chuffed

 

in for a few races this year, mainly 10k's and cross country but still loving it

 

anyone who would like to get fit and live longer needs to run

Thats a great time Allan..you have really improved from Aug last year. I used to love running 20 years ago and even further back (much lol) in my teens was a county champion in cross country.well done mate:thumbup1:

cheers bri, im about to start training for the north east harrier leauge cross country running for sunderland harriers, its quite an achievment, i remember you telling me your wife was a 5k runner

 

never thought i would ever get so fit or so quick, in for the sunderland 10k this year, my last 10k was 53:35 so im hoping to shave a few mins off that time

Well done Stella.
