I’ve done it! I ran 10km over the weekend for the first time. To be honest, i had my doubts about whether i actually could do a whole 10km. But i did. I even improved my average pace from 7.5 min/km to 6.2 min/km. I’m not sure what that really means in the running world, but i’m pretty happy with the result. Now that i know i can do the run, I’ll be concentrating on keeping my fitness up and improving my time. I’m hoping to get down to about 5 min/km, but that might be wishful thinking.

In the past week, since i’ve looked at my carbon footprint, my shopping habits have changed. I now look critically at anything i buy and opt for the least amount of packaging. I’m washing out jars and tins and I’m recycling all plastic material. I’m also now more aware of how often I leave lights on in the house and how I drive everywhere. Right now i’m looking at other ways i can reduce my carbon footprint apart from recycling plastic. Ill let you know what i come up with.
