Epic. Don't stop now!

Nice one. The section from Hal Higdon on the value of walking breaks has stuck in my mind since I read it last year. I use walking breaks all the time during my runs now. Makes longer efforts almost enjoyable. :)
I once ran a 2:29 marathon at age 49, walking through every aid station. My son Kevin ran 2:18 and qualified for the Olympic Trials employing a similar strategy. And Bill Rodgers took four brief breaks (tying a shoe on one of them) while running 2:09 and winning the 1975 Boston Marathon.
If it is good enough for them...!

Well done.
I run 3k every morning, no need to run further as long as you can stay injury free and run regularly.

Nicely done everyone on this page. It's a smaller milestone that I achieved this morning but I managed to run for 25 minutes without stopping which is somethign I've not done since, well, ever really. Not exactly speedy - I'm averaging 9 mins and something per km - but I'm super proud of the achievement. If I can do 25 minutes, I can do 30 mins. If I can do 30 I can do 35. I'll be up to 5k one day!
