five yards is further than 98 percent of the people you know could get. good job.
The thing that helped me the most at your stage was letting go and flailing as MUCH as possible. if you feel yourself tipping to the side oversteer to that side. I'm talking the wheel turning about 60 degrees about twice a second.
I needed to pretty much bury any dignity I had left to learn how to ride; you never get it back, but its worth it :-D
