- completed the Couch to 5k program (yay me!)
- did a 4k fun run (my first ever)
- lost 5kg (woohoo! The perks of exercise)
- finished my first ever 5k event (Run for the Kids)
- signed up for my first 10k (hello, Run Melbourne!)
Running is also helping me get through a rather painful break up - I'm just trying to get through each day at a time and running helps in so many ways. It clears my head, gets me moving so I'm not just sitting around at home moping, and helps me work through all these emotions that are swimming around inside me. It's also something I do for myself, something that is just all about me. Running teaches me patience - I need to conquer each kilometre step by step, to start slow and finish strong, and to work on adding those k's week by week, one at a time.
Running is helping me heal, both inside and out.
I can't wait to see what the coming months will unfold.
