shocked myself!

W9R3 completed on 21st September (30 mins but no idea what distance as didn’t track), and one week later (last Sunday) I braved entering a 5K charity fun run and did it in 42 mins. Unbelievable given W1R1 nearly killed me 😂. Happy sweaty girl crossing finishing line...

Congratulations! It’s so reassuring to hear that people struggled on the first run and still made it. Hope that will be me some day!

Great stuff! Great time too, miles faster than my first 5 KM. Did you get a medal?
