I did it because of YOU

After posting "so hard" last week I got so many amazing replies. Well I LISTENED! I kept my head up looking ahead, slowed my pace, worked through the heavy legs, pushed through the first mile and a half to reach that runners high and I used an inhaler. Guess what the results were! Yep!, I ran the FULL 5k Turkey Trot Thanskgiving morning!! The whole thing! I got my best PR of 39:01!! I just want to thank you all so much!

Fantastic! All those practice runs paid off!

Don't forget you need to build those running legs too! Be kind to them as a thanks now.........don't aim for 5k again for a while. The injury couch is not a good place to be.

Happy running!

Congratulations! This is the best forum isn't it? Someone said once " you run on your own but you never run alone" was it Irish-John maybe? Yes, we're all there trotting along beside you...
