“Gimme a HELL YEAH!”

Well, I gave out a loud and proud “Hell yeah!” today when I RAN 5KM!

This was a tough, tough run. I started off thinking it would be nice to run the full 5K today so I thought I would start out a little faster than normal and started off at 10.5kph. I kept this up till halfway and truth be told up until then it wasn’t too bad. However, the second half was really tough. I kept on thinking one more minute and by the time the last 5 minutes rolled up I had abandoned all pretensions of completing the 5K. I was thinking …today’s run is only supposed to be 28 minutes I’ll stop then… However, 28 minutes arrived and I had done 4.6 km so I thought…one more lap…I can do this. So I ran a bit more. And I made it. 5KM in 29:36.

C25K rocks!

We? What do you mean by we??
You are talking to your “unfit, overweight and hasn’t been training at all” wife?! Are you nuts?
You can run it, I’m not!

That’s awesome, Andrew. Before you know it, you’ll be looking for a half marathon to train for, or something crazy like that!
