Graduated yesterday, I'm a happy woman!

First time posting but long time reader. So I have tried running in the past and always found it horrific. I decided to start couch to 5k because I turned 40 and could sadly say that I don't do any exercise whatsoever. Each run has been hard but worth it. Some days required a lot of discipline to get out there. I incorporate different paces in my runs and usually end with a sprint. Nothing beats a good sweat and release of endorphines. And yesterday I completed the couch to 5k and it feels so so good. I took it nice and easy this time and ran until I reached the 5k. It took me 33 minutes. I was beaming for the day. I can say that I now really enjoy running and those are words that still amaze me. Thanks to all those who post frequently, it has been a huge support and answered so many of my queries and questions.

Congratulations... and again congrats on the 5k. Enjoy your future running adventures once you’ve finished celebrating... I mean consolidating... maybe both.
