Irish Runner 5K

First actual "race" of the year, after my parkrun last month. In between I have had a chest infection which excluded me from running for four weeks, so I ran today with little expectation, and a hope that I would be under 32:30 (6:30 pace). Started well, and managed to stay under that 6:30 average for my splits for the first 3K - Nice hill between 3 and 4 slowed me down, along with a couple of walk breaks, but still managed to come home over a minute inside my "hope" time - So happy with that, and plenty of scope for improvement over the summer.
