Graduation

So, like many of us I'm sure, after starting this journey after Lockdown l completed mine this morning. Another tough run but managed to get through. If anything, what I've gained most is a mental strength to carry on when you really want to quit. I was never a runner before and only mildly fit but this last 9 weeks or so has shown what can be achieved with a determination to succeed and not give up attitude. New challenges ahead now are to actually run that 5k, as long as it takes, (l managed 4.6km at the most but that also included the 5 minute warm up walk), and then do 5k within the 30 mins! For those still on their journey keep going, it's a great feeling at the end and worth it
