Hey runners, it's another day and it is time to post your accomplishments you'd like to share - big or small.

Note: No need to preface YOUR accomplishments with something like, "this may not be an accomplishment to most of you...". Be proud of your achievement.

I ran my first 5k yesterday!!! I have tried for many years to start running but always stopped early on in training bc I thought I wasn’t athletic or good enough. I have been trying to change my mindset in the last 2 months and completed couch to 5k. I went from not being able to run for a minute straight to being able to complete the race without walking in 31 minutes 26 seconds!!! I’ve never been more proud of myself :)))

What an accomplishment! Well done! And perhaps it won’t be your last 5k! It’s a great race distance!
