Did mine today:
Name: Emma
Gender: Female
Age: 38
Level: Started running end at end of March this year so still a beginner! Completed C25K last week
Type of surroundings: Gravel track through newly planted wood. Fairly flat but a few small very gradual hills
Weather: Overcast and breezy
Date: 4th June
Time of day: 3.30 pm
Expected time: I've only done a 5k distance once before and time was 38.30 so around that
Running/walking: Wanted to run entire distance but had 4 walking breaks of 10 paces each in last 2km
Time: 35.39
Pleased with time but disappointed with walking breaks. It was first time running with music which I really liked but route was basically round and round. Think I prefer a route which is "there and back" if you get me lol. Might try a different route on Friday or Saturday.0 -

Not my best time ever but still a great run. It was the night before my "biggest loser" weigh-in at work, so I treated it as my last-chance to shed a pound before the final weigh in. (I won BTW!)
I might run another 5k before this virtual 5k challenge is over. If I do, I'll edit this post and add it!
