A few weeks after this I ran my first 10km - a bit quicker than double my 5km time, so I knew I should be able to get a quicker 5km PB. So I set my next goal at Sub-33 minutes.
Over the past couple of months I've been focusing on building up my distance, and hadn't run a 5km race in that time until today.
Why all the back story? So that hopefully you will understand how pleased I am with my time today of 31:52! :) I even got a mention in the ParkRun newsletter for my PB: http://www.parkrun.org.uk/basingstoke/News.aspx (Event 71).
If I wasn't there, I'd never have believed I could run that fast! :D
Wowza! Go you! :-)
