So I started running around 6 weeks ago when I signed up for my 1st 5k race, before that I was lucky if I could run for the bus.

I am glad to say I completed my run yesterday in a not so sunny Edinburgh with the rain hammering down, but I loved every minute of it.

I completed my 5k in a 34.17 and finished 270 out of 475, so for a 1st race I was delighted.

It is safe to say I have caught the bug and have races already planned for November and January and I cant wait :D

    That's brilliant. It wasn't that long ago I completed my first 5k race, and before I knew it I was doing a 10k and then a half marathon, but 5k remains my favorite distance to run. Enjoy!
