First ever 5k today W11 ! Thanks to head voice!!

[Raisemeup]

Running came to me easier today and I felt a bit stronger. I didn't set out to do it, my intention being to cover another 30 mins best I could, but during the run I realized something was changing and I had this thought to just keep going. I was in a strange place mentally and a small voice said "you can do your 5k today if you dare". To which I replied in my silent head voice, 'OK I will', and I DID! 😗

Not record breaking, but all mine and I'm still amazed.

Distance 3.21 miles

49.02 mins

15.11 pace.

How do I feel? I think you already know...

Best wishes to all. 😉x

[Raisemeup Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes that's how it went, almost like 'I came, I saw, I conquered.....'! Best wishes to you and for your conquests. 😊

Like Dory in Finding Dory, but "Just Keep Running..."

[Raisemeup Graduate in reply to nowster]

I'm not as cute as Dory, but perseverance is the same especially when applied to running and I'll do my best!. Best wishes ☺️.

Wooo hooo, well done! That’s amazing 👏👏👏🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️👍

And running for almost 50 minutes is just as amazing! Sometimes it feels right to carry on and you took advantage of that! I’ve done the same myself. 👍

[Raisemeup Graduate in reply to Jools2020]

Thank you. As you say it just sometimes feels right and comes together and it's great when it does. Best wishes ☺️.

Fantastic news!!!⚡️⚡️⚡️Absolutely thrilled for you. I don’t know yet how it feels to reach 5k, but I do know the feeling of constantly surprising oneself with the amazing developments in our abilities. Another milestone. ✨💫☄️🦌🦌🦌

I loved the bit where you said ‘not record breaking, but all mine and I’m still amazed’. And extra special how much you enjoyed the run itself. 🦌🦌🦌

(Time to update your profile?!!)
