Ran my first official 5k today
Bloody well done!

Yes awesome job Bird on Fire, do you know your time?


I'm bloody cheerful, because I just let the folks here in the office know that I'm going to be leaving a bit early this Thursday so I watch the Mighty Lads from Liverpool beat that depressing crew from Manchester. (Scheduled my DVR to record so I don't miss a second, game starts at 4pm EST)
:thumbsup:
Should be a fun time, only need to decide what I should pick up to eat whilst I watch the game, maybe some Gyro's from Greek Town?

Thanks! 33:11. Not great, but the fastest I've done thus far. Had to stop to walk a couple of times, hopefully can build up my endurance a little more.

If you're going authentic English football it needs to be a pie.  Preferably meat with gravy.  Or as it's Liverpool you could try Scouse.

That was about the time of my first 5k too (was actually somewhere around 34 minutes, but it was ≈800km longer than a 5k). I trained for 5k and a few hundred feet after I hit 5k, I pretty much died, slowed to about 4.5mph and also ended up walking for a little while. But I did do better the next year and even better the year after that.
Always question all authorities because the authority you don't question is the most dangerous... except me, never question me.

800 km longer than expected! I'm surprised you didn't actually die Davin. That's like... really far. ;)

My Dear Claire, I'm going Soccer, so it's either Gyro's or Philly Cheese Steaks  :snooty:...and I'm really not sure about your English pies, remind me too much of Mrs. Lovett's.

I'm also not sure what Scouse means, it's a proper dialect I presume?

By the way is no one else on this entire forum a Liverpool fan but me?

I can't believe you are all Manchester United fans, does that include Siz and Tank?.

I know Crow is, I mean it's quite obvious he's a fan of Man. U what with those twin Rooney tattoos he's got on both biceps.

Interesting, very interesting.

Scouse is indeed a dialect but it's also a Liverpool stew....http://allrecipes.co.uk/recipe/298/scouse.aspx ideal for cold nights on the terrace watching football.

And...here's Crow.  His tattoos are covered though:

Crow!! Oh my Asmo! You're so young! I thought you were much older! You're just a baby! Are you 16? So when you said, "I think I'm starting to get the older men with younger women thing now." You must have been talking about a 15-year-old!

lol, right, I mean 800m, it was about 5.8k instead of 5k.

Siz has not much interest in football. My most local big team is Chelsea but I also have Fulham, Arsenal and Tottenham close by.

Rugby makes me cheerful though. I'm a stones throw from Twickenham - I used to be able to see the pitch from the roof of my college until they built the 'new' stands.
