Officially a grad now - first 5k

So I've officially become a couch to 5k graduate. I ran my first ever 5k this morning. I feel even more proud of myself today than I did the day I did my graduation run. I'm still running slowly but that's really not a concern to me anymore. I'm just happy to be able to run that distance at all. I don't really have anyone (except my partner) to share this with so I thought I'd share it with you all 😁
