Workout bragging First 5k complete!
I got the itch back in June to start running again after this sub started popping up on my feed, but kept telling myself “Oh I’ll need these shoes and those shorts” until finally I walked into a Walmart, bought the cheapest pair of running shoes I could find and just freaking did it in July; and have been running almost every day.
Today was my first day that I thought I could tackle a 5k run and it felt glorious! Running seriously feels like something I’ve been missing in my life and I’m so happy to have it back!
Seeing everyone’s posts on this sub have been such a huge source of encouragement! I love seeing such a warm and accepting community and how kind everyone is to each other here regardless of distances, speeds, and everything in between made me stop judging myself so harshly.
Thank you lovely people in my phone who gave me the inspiration to get back on the trails.
