A-Ring-A-Ding-Ding!

Yeehah! Yesterday I went for my 5km run with Jacqui and Rachelle...and actually managed to run all of the way (without stopping). It was hard work - I wanted to stop. The first 2-3 km were actually the hardest, but once I got past that, I guess the momentum kicks in? I am still quite slow though.

I have included a map (with the 5km route marked out) of the run. It begins at the Bishopdale YMCA and is a loop. I tend to run the same direction as the traffic...it seems I am more comfortable with people seeing my wobbly bottom than my red face!

This afternoon, I went for another 5km run (different route) and made it again! I am very pleased with myself. It probably helped that it was raining - don't get so hot then. Rest day tomorrow.

Does anyone else get a runny nose when they run? For some reason mine just runs!!! Frustrating!

WOW you are doing so well. Is writing here helping at all?

my nose runs a little and sometimes i have to spit too!

How long does it take you to run 5 ks? (If i'm allowed to ask that.)
