10km run in 53 mins 40 secs

It's been a while since I posted on my progress to getting ripped. Unfortunately I was quite sick last week and was not able to do any workouts. I was however able to run a 10km event on Sunday before I got sick. It was not my best time, but it was close: 53mins 40secs. I think my lack of consistency in working out has to contribute to this. My expectation was to beat my previous best time of 49 mins which did not happen. But now I know what I need to do to beat my record. I'm also running 21km runs more consistently now and I think I can run the marathon if I train for the next 5 months for the marathon in December. Will keep posting on my progress when possible.
