I did it. And in a fitting gesture to my friend, I finished running to Purple Rain, which will always remind me of him and now will remind me of achieving this. I've looked back at each of my posts and remembered my journey to reach here. I seriously couldn't run for 60 seconds at the beginning without being out of puff and now I can run for 30 minutes and still have the stamina t9 continue. Thank you to all who supported me throughout. Next goal 5k in 30 minutes! And a 7k fun run in 4/5weeks.

I did it guys! β˜ΊπŸ€—β˜ΊπŸ€—β˜ΊπŸ€—πŸ˜„πŸ˜—
