Graduated!!

Not long after a heart operation at end of last year my head well and truly fell off... As I mental health nurse I decided to practice what I preach but I NEVER thought I could have achieved so much in just over 9 weeks.

12lbs lighter and a lot fitter then I ever have been in my life, I can now run 5k (or 30 minutes) without stopping πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ (and so can the dogs!!)

Thanks @thesarahmillican for getting me through every single run πŸ’™

Congratulations! Now you’ve practiced that you were already preaching, I can only assume we’ll be seeing even more new runners coming for the mental health benefits! Celebrate well, enjoy some consolidation work and all your future running adventures.
