want to work up to 5km runs =]

That's fantastic, obviously you have the endurance on your side! Have you considered just going for 10 minute runs outside so you get used to the feeling? I used to think outdoor running was such a struggle but I can't believe how quickly my body adjusted to it.
 
yeh im thinking i will go attempt to run a lap of this lake in a week or so when im on holidays, it is only 3km though so hopefully i will be able to do it :)
i think outdoor running kills me coz at the gym im able to listen to my ipod to keep me entertained whereas outside im more focusing on how much im dying lol
though i have found that the first 5-10 mins is the worst so as long as i keep that in mind i should be able to motivate myself to keep going outside too.
running a lap of the lake has been a goal of mine for agessssssssssss and it has taken me forever to actually do anything about reaching it so it will be very exciting when i can finaly do it :D
ive also been thinking once i get into outdoor running i want to find a 5km or even 10km fun run sort of thing to do, another goal to reach i guess hah
 
oh and ive also decided that i will try do 1 10km run, 1 25min run, 1 50min run and 1-2 40 min runs a week.
ive done my 25 and 50 min runs so far and am actually really looking forward to doing 10km hah
