Graduated!

Well I've finally gone and done it, 7 years after my first attempt. 😁 Having someone holding me accountable has definitely helped me stick with it this time. I still can't believe I've actually finished it though. I never would have thought me of all people would be able to run for 30 minutes.

I'm still a ways away from doing 5k in that time so I suppose the next step is to keep on running and build that endurance until I do get to 5k. I've signed up for parkrun as well, it's just a case of finding a Saturday morning where I'm not volunteering or otherwise busy.

Can't stop now, I've got some new shoes to make use of (pic added before I get told off)! πŸ˜‚ Not too expensive but certainly an improvement over the cheap trainers I got from Amazon.

Onwards!
