Just did 5K in 35.25minutes. See my trail? It's all green for once, yay! Apart from the red spot where I stopped cos my laces came undone! Annoying but I need to improve!! Want to get it to 30 minutes by Race For Life in 4 weeks....ergh. Oh and the yellow bit is when I started and was still walking while I put my phone away ^.^

That's brill, well done! Does it go green at a certain speed? x

Yeah red is stop/crawling on the floor in agony, yellow is fast walk, and green is running. I sped up for the last 1/4 mile a lot, I could feel how much faster I was going but the route doesn't show a change which upset me! 
I wonder if I will run like that for longer next week ^.^ I'm debating when to start doing 5 miles now....
Oh no dodgy hip! Perhaps some torso twists will help loosen up?

Wow 5 miles is a big jump! Go you!
I think I'm going to sign up for a 10k in the autumn so should probably start pushing my own distances a bit in prep but I quite like that 5k is getting more comfortable at the moment! I use the Caledos / RunKeeper app which shows pace changes once you log onto the runkeeper.com website:Splits
1 mi
10:07
2 mi
10:09
3 mi

Have tried all the stretches etc I know on my hip and nothing seems to be working... I had problems at a teenager when I was doing lots of activity for my Duke of Edinburgh's award, so might be the same thing. Will get an appointment with the physio if it's not better by Monday - just need to decide whether to keep it low impact tomorrow and walk for my body magic, or whether to try out 30 day shred for the first time!

30 day shred may leave you crippled, but maybe try it and find out your limit! I can't wait to be able to try it, looks like a giggle!

I actually must of had a nice breeze as I found this heat more bearable than that bank holiday a few weeks ago. I prefer sun to rain any day!

Blimey you are weird! Haha, perhaps I need to just invest in a rain coat...the hood on my running coat kept being blown off and rain dripping off my eyelashes is very annoying for me >.<
