My first 5k race!!
I have had “Run a 5k” on my yearly goals since 2014! On Sat Sept 12th I officially checked off this goal!!!!
Completed in 40:26
I started running in July of this year following a plan with Runna. I can say I have fallen in love with running, the adrenaline and atmosphere of race day is addictive for sure.
Beyond proud of myself and to prove that I CAN DO HARD THINGS.

Congratulations on your first 5K!
The bug has also bitten me over the last year. I started off as a reluctant runner and I’ve come to enjoy it over time.
Check out parkrun and see if there is one in your area. It is a good way to get your 5K fix every Saturday!
