Graduation run morning, look out, pouring with rain. Hmmm go back to bed or get drenched.... an element of excitement hit me that if I do this run, then from this day forward, I can start working my way back from 5K to couch.

So off I set with rain sliding down my face with visions of cake and tv on my couch for eternity.

This is picture my son took as I returned The Graduate!!

So proud of my achievement, would not have believed it possible all those weeks ago!

Great job... congratulations.

5k to couch is pretty instant, but you don’t wanna so that! Although you could as long as you start off 5k from the couch πŸ˜‚
