I did it - I cried

When I started this in August a year to the day I’d had major surgery I never in a million years thought I would finish it - I sobbed with the sense of achievement when I got back to the car. I covered 5k in 45 minutes including warm up and down walk and a few minutes extra walk. I’m aiming to run it in 45 minutes eventually.

My husband is 11 years older than me and 67, he runs 5k in 31 minutes
