I did it!

I finally graduated! I ran slowly but I did it! I think I experienced a runners high for the last five minutes - it was like I wasn't controlling my legs and started running (like actual running not shuffling) and sped up quite a lot but didn't feel tired. It felt weird and awesome at the same time πŸ˜‚. Either that or my legs were so cold I no longer felt them hit the ground πŸ˜‚.

Plan for now till January is to consolidate 30 mins and finish my virtual Challenge (to run equivalent of a marathon by running from December to end on january). Then from there I'll aim for 5k if I don't reach it before hand 😊.
