... A runner! Or at least that is what my c25k program said as I finished my 20 minute, week 5 run.

. I know it is not the full race, a half or a full marathon or anything, but considering where I started this journey- it's awesome. I consider it more like running a mental marathon- a battle between 'no, you can't and yes, you can' in my mind. In any case, wanted to share my glee! Best of luck in all your workout endeavors today!!
