    After 6 years of working towards a sub 30min 5km I did it today! Admittedly I've been training on and off rather than continuously, usually 3-6 months on the wagon of running regularly but then falling off for the next 3+ months. This time thanks to the wedding motivation I've been pretty much solidly on track with exercise and diet for 7 months and I hit a 5m58s km pace. Not bad at 202lbs! Goes to show health and fitness is not all about the scale.

    Hope everyone finds their NSV achievement this week!
    @emmclean. Awesome achievement. Well done. 30min 5km is a fantastic achievement.

    You can officially run distance faster than I walk (at my best pace). :) Also means you are officially running, not jogging (Jogging is defined as at a pace below 10km/h).

    Happy running. I hope you keep at it.

    I have been bloated since I woke up yesterday. Not sure what is going on, as it shouldn't be hormonal yet.

    Pass. I was just under my walking goal and didn't add in any other exercise. Well, at least I didn't time my stretching. My first rest day since recovering from my back a couple of weeks ago. Calories and tracking were still on point.

    I pick up my parents at the airport tomorrow. The real vacation doesn't start until Saturday.
