    You finished what you started. That's awesome!

    Not sure how long you have been running but some days it's not what we expect! Every run can't be a personal best!

    Here's to a great race and your great progress! :flowerforyou:

    You finished, that's HUGE! And you were so close to your goal! Don't beat yourself up about it- use it as a goal, aim for your next 5k to be 2 minutes faster (or whatever makes sense for your training schedule).
    You should be proud, so many people never even try. You tried AND finished!

    It's great to have a goal and go for it. Sounds like you did well. I know sometimes I get to the point where I feel like I need to take a break. Sometimes it's mental and I just need to push through it. Other times I do need to stop and get my heart rate down and then continue so I don't over do it or "blow up". Just pay attention to what your body is doing on your runs and keep working at it. You'll get there! The biggest thing is that you're out there doing it. You should be proud of that!
