Run, Mandy, Run

When the global pandemic began in full swing, I knew that i couldn't just sit and watch TV or read the depressing news. I took this moment to reflect and develop goals for myself, and one of those goals was to run. I started the Couch to 5K App, during my spring break of Senior Year, and completely the 8 week program. Now, I have just completed the Couch to 10K program. While I have not run a full 10K quite yet, I for the first time in my life ran for one full hour without stopping! I didn't think it was possible at first, but the program plans it out well on their free app, and I now even look forward to running! While cases continue to increase in the United States and the future remains uncertain, I have hope and one more thing to keep me going through running. #newdecadenewme (read ironically)
