Officially a couch to 5k graduate!! πŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ˜

Tonight I went out and ran for 30 minutes & 8 seconds covering 3.1miles (5k)πŸŽ‰

This time 9 weeks ago i struggled to do the 1st run and now look at me! 😁 and all without an inhaler! πŸ˜…

This was a hard run, legs were so heavy and tired but i did it!! πŸ˜πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ†πŸŽ–

Actually feel so proud of myself and it feels amazing to have stuck with it and completed it! β€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ I even got home to a romantic candle lit dinner cooked by the hubby and flowers to celebrate! πŸ₯°πŸŽ‰

Thank you so much to everyone on here for all your support! You really have kept me going. To everyone who is still going, you can do it! No matter how much your mind tells you to stop or that you can't do it YOU CAN! keep putting 1 foot in front of the other and keep going!
