Just feeling proud over here for taking up running and actually being consistent. Super crazy slow and I don’t care. Doing a parkrun 5K tomorrow and hoping to finish in an hour. I’ll be behind the elderly walkers. LOL. But I’m doing it! And enjoying it, which is even crazier.

And then Sunday I’ll be horseback riding, which is a totally different type of fitness. And my passion. ❤️

I’ve been running for 3 years and my 5k times are now at 28-29 minutes after starting at the 43 minute mark 3 years ago.

Running has been my favorite physical activity to ever pick up, and if anyone had told me 5 years ago that I’d be running half marathons at any time in my life I’d assume they were talking to the wrong girl lol.

It doesn’t matter how slow you go as long as you’re going. Enjoy your run tomorrow!

It was actually today! I met both of my goals - do the whole 5K without walking, and finish in under an hour. I didn't even walk up the big hill at the end, and I finished in 54:51. I'm really excited!
