CR6- my first 5k! Emotional

So I ended the day before the end of the never ending year of 2020 on a high- achieving a lifetime goal of mine, to run 5k in under 40 minutes. 39:53.

I was to be honest completely overcome with emotion like those people you see at the end of marathons or the olympics or something! It's been a hell of a year and I never really believed I could achieve this.

Many thanks for the support of this forum!

Good for you girl!- running seems to be really quite cathartic after the year we've had - there will be plenty of tears out there flooding the streets, I'm sure!😪- onward and upward to 2021 people. 🤞
