Graduation run at last

It has been a harder journey than I imagined, with a few injury struggles along the way which set progress back, but yesterday managed the 5k run organised by running club (West Coast Runners,Cyprus) in 15 seconds under 30 minutes. The various posts on this site as well as the encouragement of the running club has given me the motivation to persevere and take up running again at the age of 67 after a gap of about 10 years.

Thanks to everyone for helping me to this stage and having signed up for a 10k in March I am determined to progress further.
