Wow, congratulations. You must be proud. I am still doing consolidation runs to increase my distance. I think I have a way to go, but you give me hope.

Thanks Charliemom it was amazing and youll definitely get there it took me many repeats and stops and starts but got there in the end. Keep going out and make sure you have rest days it takes as long as it takes Happy Running πŸ‘πŸƒ

Well done. 5k is a milestone, isn't it? 😊

When I did my first 5k, I was so overwhelmed.

Oh, that's nice. I was also over the moon was I first managed 5k, and even now it's pleasant to recall.

There's a phenomenon called post run euphoria. 😁
