I’ve graduated!

[StudentNursee]

So today I did what I always thought would be impossible and finished my Couch to 5K!

I’m 21 and I’ve never had an interest in sports or keeping fit but when going through some tough times with family I found the motivation to finally get started. Plus the encouragement of my friends and the slight jealousy of them all talking about running all the time!

So I began my journey on couch to 5K and I was surprise how hard I found it, but I kept going and after a week or so I just fell in love with it! My god it wasn’t easy to keep going at times but the comments on here kept me going all the time.

I can’t believe how far I’ve come since starting this journey, I’m so much fitter, I feel so much better and have found my running a great way to cope with the stress of being a final year student nurse (which is very stressful).

I’m eternally grateful for the comments and support I’ve received on this app, you truly are some of the nicest people I’ve ever spoken too!

It’s safe to say my blood, sweat and tears have gone into this journey but my god it’s been so worth it!

And some beautiful flowers my parents sent me knowing I’d complete my couch to 5K today 😊😍❤️
