That’s absolutely amazing!!! Massive congratulations to you on a huge achievement!

I already know you’re celebrating (badge looks fab by the way!). Are you thinking about what’s next or just basking in your glory from such a great run?

Thank you. Not sure yet would like to work on speed but in no rush to do anything just enjoying being out there.

Sounds perfect! Don’t let the name put you off, but you might like to join us over in Bridge to 10k. There are lots of people who’ll be running in a similar way to you, and a weekly quest where you set your own goals and get a bit of encouragement. Have a little browse and totally feel free to keep posting on couch if that suits you better!
