W9R3 Wahoooo, I've only gone and done it.

[Alanist]

Yay I did it. Over the moon, what a start to the day.

Not the easiest start to a run, definately a very toxic 5 minutes. But settled in eventualy. This one was never about the 30 minutes for me, it was about finishing with a full 5k run and I did it.

My motivation today on this Fathers Day was the memory of my Dad who I lost last year, I know he would have encouraged me every step of the way, so i dedicate this milestone to him 😀

Thank you all for the fantastic support and encouragement, this truly is a wonderful forum to be a part of.

Wherever you are in the program, trust it, embrace it and enjoy it. You can all do it.

I'm now off for a much needed shower 🥉🥉🥉😀😀😀🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🥉🥉🥉

Well done 👊🏻 Thats fantastic!! Im sorry for your loss 😢 Fathers Day is a hard one.

[Alanist Graduate in reply to jannyscotland]

Thank you so much for your kind words. No need for sadness, this is a happy day, one that allows us to reflect and appreciate all the wonderful times.

I'd like to think it would have made him as proud of my achievements as I am in myself. 😊
