Not the fastest but not the slowest

Finished a virtual 5K in Annapolis, MD in US. Considering I have three metal plates and 15 screws in my right leg thanks to a drunk and drugged driver, I’m delighted with this accomplishment. I was in a wheel chair a year and a half ago, but with the support of my husband and friends and the expertise of many professional people, I am living my best life. Thanks Couch to 5K. Running has been a symbolic victory over my injuries and I couldn’t be happier!

Ha! I forgot about my user name reflecting my insecurity about being slow. I’m slow but I managed to finish without stopping.
