Give that girl a medal.

Today I completed couch to 5K. I decided pretty early on not to measure my distance but to focus on the steady build up of continuous movement that is running. Im an expert at putting myself down, you know the conversation, too slow, should be faster fitter etc, and my aim has been to shut that girl up. Mighty chuffed that I've stuck with the program, had no injuries - always been prone to plantar fascitis and Achilles problems - and kept the negative at bay. Thank you to all inspiring posts.

Congratulations! That’s gotta be difficult for that negative girl to say anything about. You did this, you can do anything.
