Week 9 Run 1

8 Replies

Just completed week 9 run 1 and ran the course of our local park run!

Never thought I would be ready for this but here I am!!

I ran the full 30mins then walked for 5 mins for my cool down. With half km to complete the 5k I began to run and completed it in 40mins!!

So proud of myself and a little emotional. It’s been quite a journey when only 9 months ago I couldn’t even get out of bed without throwing up!!

Don’t give up - this program really does work. Watch out park run - I’m about to start another epic journey!!
