So proud of myself!

I did my first 5k run today! And I did it in 40mins. Ok, so I'm not about to win any medals (I'll leave that to Mo Farah!) but I now have a starting point and I can but improve and continue working towards the 10k I'm planning to do on May 27th

It felt so amazing afterwards - I was on such a high (still am!!) Isn't it amazing how far a little bit of determination and perseverence can get you

Hey that's fabulous Cheryl! What did you wear? Were you very hot on arrival? (That's my issue with my power walk in the morning; I'm cold when I set out, and HOT when I arrive!!)

Well done Cheryl!

I wore running leggings and a t-shirt... typically my favourite sports bra broke the clasp last night! I wouldn't mind but they're soooo expensive to buy The weather here in Gib is still quite mild compared to the UK (around 19 degrees during the day) so we don't have too much of an issue with cold mornings

Hi Cheryl, well done! im so jealous that you are able to go running in beautiful Andalucia!!! im back in the UK pounding the pavements in training for a 10k in April. Ive been doing flamenco lessons here, not sure if youve ever given it a go but its great for posture and toning arms and legs...anyway i think ive noticed that its easier to run because im toning up a bit. viva espana!

Superb achievement Cheryl - well-done!! I know its a great feeling too... can't wait to see how it feels to accomplish a 10K as I'm sure you can't either !!
