If you would have told me 5 months ago that I'd be running, let alone running a 5K race today, I would have thought you were crazy!! ......but I did it today!! It felt so incredible going out there and running 3.1 miles nonstop! :smile:

Next on my agenda is working harder on getting a faster 5K time, and I've also registered for a half marathon race 6 months from now (starting on a training plan tomorrow to get myself ready for it)

    GOOD ON YOU! Isn't it a great feeling when you finish the run?! And when you realise that you can and are doing something you previously doubted. You have achieved something really wonderful, and it is so cool that you shared your moment with us all.

    I had run years ago, but it was definitely not my favourite thing. Now it is the easiest way of exercising outdoors with my youngest daughter (oldest - 8 - comes with us on her bike when she is not in school), and I am decidedly hooked. It always makes me smile when I read about the joy someone else is experiencing, because it makes me feel like I am sharing my excitement and new-found love and appreciation of running with others.

    So happy for you, and looking forward to hearing more posts from you about future runs.

    Well done

    Wil

    Way to go! Congratulations!

    I do not run either (yet) - and starting with a 5k is a personal goal of mine too! Congrats on hitting your milestone :happy:
