OMG I ACTUALLY GOT OFF MY BUM AND DID IT!

Have been thinking for a couple of weeks to do the Couch 2 5k and finally bit the bullet and did my first run today. My shins were killing me but just kept thinking if a 61year old can do it so can I.

I haven't run for about 14 years and at one point thought just one more jog to go and then he said 2 more to go, nooooo! But I did it and must admit I nearly cried when it was over. Anyone else feel like that??

Now am sweaty and smelly and the shower is calling πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚
