Getting there slowly but surely

Today for my run jog / walk session I decided to just make sure I focus on keeping a slow pace.  Of course I found it easier it being later in the afternoon when less people were out and about and I decided to just see how I went.  And I managed to jog slowly for around 19 minutes and looking at the distance would appear to be around 2.6km.  I'm hoping to be ready for a 5km fun run by the end of the year which a friend and I will do together.  She wanted me to do one in Levin now in October, but I don't think I'll be ready just yet.
