Well - 23:?? with a niggling shin is pretty good going then isn't it. I really will have to try and get down for one of these. Unless they fancy doing a Bushy Park TT Tour. It seems only fair that they should spread the fun outside London. We'll swap you that for some water.

LOL! water would be gratefully received.
I was being paced and came in about 30 secs faster than I was aiming for. pacer wouldn't let me check my watch the last 1500m or so and later told me he hadn't known what we were aiming for but as I hadn't threatened imminent vomiting he kept pushing the pace. and annoyingly kept talking at me as he was barely breaking a sweat!
so now I know how I am supposed to feel doing 5km!

So, now you know how you are supposed to feel are you still going to do another one? They just really hurt don't they? Not quite as much as 10K I suppose, but it's still a pretty uncomfotable way to spend 20 minutes or so.
Sub 23 next then?

sub 23 soon definitely. not this week tho.
need to do a few speed sessions first.
5km is horrid. don't know why I keep doing it. running faster than you want to for longer than you want to.
have got a 10k target to get to as well (which I know I should be able to do, just need to sort my pacing out)

Yeah - some speed work will definately see the times tumble. I say this as someone who has not actually done any speed work for over a year now, but I know that if I wanted to get quicker that's what I would have to do.
Have you got a 10K race planned, or are you going to get really fast at 5K first and then just do one?

'really fast at 5k' ROFL!
am scanning for a suitable nice flat 10k..... found a couple. just need to enter them.
and I do BPTT actually cos it's nice when it is over. and there's often a good gossip to be had afterwards!
