W9 R3 - I’ve done it! 🏅🍾🏃🏻‍♀️

[Placitasgirl]

What a beautiful morning for my final run of C25K. Couldn’t have enjoyed it more not felt prouder of my achievements. I felt so good at 30 minutes I pushed on and completed a full 5k in 36 minutes. Can hardly believe how far I’ve come and how much I’ve now enjoy running. I’m hooked and plan to consolidate now and enjoy parkruns when they’re allowed again. A year ago today my husband underwent surgery that went terribly wrong and during which he died 3 times. It’s been a very difficult 12 months for us both but I rediscovered the physical and psychological benefits of exercise and with the gym closed C25K proved to be the perfect challenge. The programme is so smart and the tips, support and encouragement here are fabulous. Woo Hoo, I only went as did it! Off to pick up my Graduate tag now... today is a good day 🏅🍾🏃🏽‍♀️
