About 12months ago I was thinking I might possibly be able creep under, but still it was a huge challenge. This weekend on a not particularly fast course I managed a mid 19 5k, and indeed whenever I've raced a fast 5k I've comfortably been sub 20. How much is physical improvement and how much is psychology I don't know. Hopefully with more work I can reach a similar point with sub19, and from there who knows what. It's great motivation.

A 12 year old boy beat me by 2 places today which is just brilliant. Had a quick chat with the lad and it was a 40 second PB for him. I love running!
