Pleased doesn't do it justice!

Completed my first 5k today, 5.14 to be exact 😝! And even better could have kept going, was actually jogging along having a conversation for the last 0.5K.

This comes after a complete change in tactic in my approach to running. I hurt my back last Sunday and I am convinced that it was through pushing myself too hard to go faster so I took a few more rest days, and went out much slower and this is the result.

Go me.... I'm a runner .... πŸ˜›
