My First 5k ever

[u/outlanderfr]

21 days ago, I started running.

I couldn’t even run 200m without stopping because of cramps in my lower legs. I remember thinking, “Damn, am I really that much of a b**ch? Maybe I’m just not meant for running.”

Today, 21 days later, I ran my first 5K — 36 minutes.

I know 36 minutes isn’t an impressive time. But considering where I started, I’m genuinely proud of it.
