NSV - first 5k completed!

jen_2286

In Summer 2010 I was housebound due to a severely underactive thyroid and could barely walk. This morning I completed my first 5k with my best friend! Neither of us had even attempted to run before 6 weeks ago and this morning we completed the 5k in 38:41. Not the fastest time ever but I am so proud of us both - we were hoping to get under the 45 minute mark so I'm really happy. My friend is undergoing a weight loss journey of her own too and is doing brilliantly

that is awesome!

I did a 5K obstacle course mud run with a friend a few weeks ago and we are on a similar journey with weight loss and getting fit. It was so awesome to complete it and to have someone with me as well. We are doing another, longer one, at the end of September because we enjoyed this first one so much!

Keep it up and good luck to you!
