I was able to enter & complete my first race.

Did the 5km Big Walk in the streets of Cape Town, South Africa in an hour.

I wasn’t sure if I’ll be able to finish or whether it would take me hours, since I haven’t really been able to get fit since my flare landed me in hospital in May.  The Humira treatment I’m on seems to be working since I can’t recall when last I actually felt like I could walk for a bit, nevermind 5km!

Relief & joy for finishing the 5km walk! Thank you to my boyfriend who walked with me (even though he is much fitter and would probably have enjoyed a longer distance).

Hope there will be many more races to help me live a healthier lifestyle.
