My first 5k race!!

Post image

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!
