After a really crappy couple of weeks at work that has caused me to start to lose my newly established (since January) positive attitiude & dedication to healthy eating and exercise and stretched my willpower to the limits I had a very timely NSV.

I forced myself to go for a run tonight (really didnt want to) and.......took 2 whole minutes off my 5km time! Probably not that exciting a thing to those who are really fit or those not into running...but to me..I AM THRILLED! When I stopped and saw my time I jumped up and down and had a smile so big that the passing cars thought I was slighlty insane. :laugh:

    Evertonngirl , you are just behind me. Ive only just cracked the sub 30min mark for 5km and havent cracked the 60min mark for 10km yet. It wont be long and you will be in front of me.
    You are doing really well.
