Now that my toe nails have dropped off and I can run again, I've set my self the challenge of running a 5 minute mile (slightly downhill)

I've picked a nice, peaceful, scenic stretch not to far from where I'm currently living, and one that's conveniently slightly downhill. This way I have a chance at cracking 5 minutes. There's also a couple of Strava challenges down this road too, so hopefully I can leg my way up the leaderboards as I regain fitness.

Today I attempted to beat my debut time of 5:45 in the rain. I gave it a bloody good go.

My official time today was:

5:24 ..Reckon I'll do it guys?? It's a tall order..
