My second post grad run and I ran 5k. It was slow and oh boy at times I felt like my legs were bleeding but I pushed on and did it.

I also treated myself to a snail 🐌 enamel pin for my arm band 🀣 I’m slow and proud!

Don’t let anyone tell you your goal is impossible or out of your reach.

Well done you must feel great πŸ‘ As they say it’s not a sprint but at your own pace. I for one will never do 5K in 30 minutes!

Great photo of you 'Caroline', yes as they say take that inner snail with you and you certainly have looking at the photograph, slow and steady is the mantra here or C25K, in your case it was slow and proud, well done.
