Well I’ve finally made it to Graduation! Ran my first Park Run this morning and did 5k in 28mins 49 secs!! 🤗🎉🎉

3 laps of the park and I thought I had another 2 to go but then I saw the finish line. I even queried that I’d done it correctly as I thought it was 5 laps 😂

Thanks everyone for the support and encouragement that you’ve given me on this great forum. I’ll definitely keep posting how I’m doing. You never know I might try for 10 k next! 😳🏃🏼‍♀️🤪
