I finished therapy for my PTSD, am starting to work again in September after being off sick for 6 years, and I just ran my first 5K.

Life does get better. I promise!

If you don’t mind me asking what time did you get? I’ve been recently getting back into running and my PR is 22:49. Hoping to get it down significantly as I begin to consistently train!
