First ever 5k achieved today 😊

To give a bit of context, this was my 5th consolidation run and the warm up and cool down walks are included so it’s a bit cheeky but I’ll still claim this as a victory.

I am slower than slow, yes, but I am determined.

For all the ladies who think that being overweight or β€˜mature’ is an obstacle -let me say this - if I can do this anyone can do it. It’s having the right attitude and the right support (in more ways than one πŸ˜‚) that will get you on your way and keep you going.

Today is a good, good day 😊😊😊

Congratulations, I'm on Consolidation 7 and thought i'd give 5km a go and did it. 45minutes though so how people can do this in 30 minutes is crazy but I'm sure I'll get there :)

We WILL get there and, you know what, even if we don’t we are still running and not idling indoors so every run is a HUGE tick in the box 😊

Yep. We're going 100% faster than we were before
