5k done and not a disaster onwards towards the half

So foolishly last autumn I signed up to do a half marathon in October 2017
To say training has not gone well would be generous Grin
However ds2 persuaded me to do a 5k with him.
I was in bits yesterday before hand as i convinced myself it would be a disaster.
I actually managed to run most of it Shock and finished in 38.20
Soooooo chuffed and it really has helped get me back motivated and to believe I can do this
Next is a 10k end of August with hopefully another 5k between
I am going to use this thread alongside my strava as a bit of a tool to keep me going.

Just a bit of an update as I left for ages and am just dipping back in to mumsnet
I did a 10k and completed the half in under three hours
Despite being injured after the 10k and not running properly in the three weeks pre half
Am still running (albeit slowly and short distances) hoping to do another 10k and the half again in the Autumn
