I just wanted to encourage anyone who's wondering if they'll ever manage to finish this, it really is possible!

I graduated two weeks ago, had 6 days without running, did a week of alternate day running at different distances and this morning I ran 5K in 48 minutes! I wasn't planning on doing it, I just felt OK and kept going! Slow compared to some, but I was triumphant when I finished ๐Ÿ˜Š๐ŸŽ‰ cried again obviously๐Ÿ™„!!!

I couldn't do a whole minute on my first run on Easter Sunday, so if you're starting out, keep going, you'll get there! ๐Ÿ˜Š
