Finally run 5k, 2 months after graduating!

It took 45 minutes of running non-stop, but I have finally managed to run 5k. I graduated at the beginning of June (this time). And yes, I am as slow as a snail, but do I care? Absolutely not! I can't stop smiling.

So, for anyone worrying about speed or distance, don't be! It will come eventually.

Fantastic! Yes, speed is really not the point, each achievement is!

Enjoy that buzz, and celebrate! 👍🏻😁

Congratulations on running your first 5K, don't worry about the time, you ran slow and steady for 45 minutes, well done. 😊 🏃🏾

Brilliant Nicki, well done, hope to start for the 3rd time soon, just need to learn to walk again first.

Keep in running,

Pete.
