I know for many it might not be much but I have never in my life run for 5 minutes but I did. I feel euphoric. Also 3 minutes seems easy now

Well done! It feels amazing doesn't it! Just wait until you realise you can run 20 minutes - then you'll really be in shock. I know I was!

Me too - my first 5 mins and so pleased with myself!! Well done!

No one told me it would feel this good. Mind you I also did a core class at the gym yesterday and now feel a bit dead

Lol - yeah I hated running at school so can't quite believe how well this is going! I was so pleased yesterday that I registered for park run as a motivation - maybe a bit too keen!

Well done you!!!👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I remember that feeling, I posted that I felt an almost child-like pride in what I knew others thought was a small thing. It's ok, we get it. We have all been there. I no longer feel silly or awkward about wanting to shout it front the rooftops, I just do it. We all need to be more like children I think.👏🏼👏🏼🥇😀
