Started my journey back in January with the aim of completing the EMF 5k today. Graduated in March, and continued to run three times a week with rest days in between. During the last month I've been floored with the cold and had a frozen shoulder which put the brakes on for a week, but once back on the road times picked. Today was my second time running the Edinburgh 5k, last time 5 years ago and almost 5 mins slower!

To all you can do it, and you have it in you to get to that goal!
