5k inspired!

Hi everyone - feeling proud of myself! I did a local 5k and came in 5 minutes quicker at 39.26 minutes than last year! I thoroughly enjoyed it and it inspired me to join a local running group!

I went along and met the friendly welcoming group and set off with them. After warming up we did ‘piramids’! As a lone runner I wasn’t sure I’d enjoy it but I thoroughly did! I kept up with the group and am now thinking ‘roll on next week’!

I’ve always considered myself too slow or too unfit to join in with others but I think I’m now ready to spread my wings!!

I don’t post very often but do get inspiration as I read all your posts!!!

Happy running everyone!!
