Suguru Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 One of my three fitness goals for my first 6-week-challenge has been to run 5K in less than 30 minutes. I have been slowly but surely cutting my time down from about 40 minutes before the challenge started to just under 31 minutes last week. Yesterday I was feeling pretty good about myself and life in general, so I told myself "today's the day" and sure enough, it was! I ran the route in 28 minutes and 34 seconds! I'm stoked to have achieved one of my goals already and am hopeful that I will be equally successful in achieving my other goals in the two weeks that remain.

Suguru Posted August 25, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 Thanks! I just used google maps to calculate the exact distance of my route and in turns out it's actually 5.16 km. It's really much of a muchness time-wise, but I thought I would add that if we are being precise, I ran 5.16 K in 28 minutes 34 seconds!
