....and then Forrest Gump rocked up and I just kept on running to 10k. Yay!! Finally made it to the elusive goal. ๐ŸŽ‰ Ok, it wasnโ€™t exactly fast... 1 hour and 15 minutes but it was still that magic double digit! It was my second attempt at Ju Juโ€™s plan and then I came down with flu in early Feb and I almost gave up hope of ever getting there. But this wonderful forum and the fantastic people on here helped to pick me up and get on with it. I also have fibromyalgia so I have to take longer rests between runs but the exercises suggested by the folks on here really helped. Thank you all so much - you are truly amazing! ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ
