NSV - first 5K in 25 years done!
With my boyfriend and his dog waiting at every mile marker to cheer me on, I made it! Ran/jogged the whole time, made it under 45 minutes (which was my goal... I can run it in 38 minutes on a treadmill, but concrete and hills and wind are not a treadmill LOL). Felt tired and sore but happy afterward.
As I approached the end, I felt euphoric. I could do anything if I can do this!

I am not a doctor, but I play one at work.
Congratulations! I can just imagine how amazing that would feel. I had a goal to run my first one in April - but currently am in a walking boot, which will be followed by PT, praying it will work so I won't need surgery on my foot. Its putting a kink in that goal of mine! So happy for you - you CAN do anything! Keep up the great work!
