My PBs

[Biscuit0107]

A year after getting off the couch and I've been thinking about where I am today,

I run 3 or 4 times a week for between 5 and 10k

I'm 2.5 stone lighter and 3 dress sizes smaller

My PB for 5k is 30.46 (I will break 30 one day...)

My PB for 10k is 1.07.08 ( for my only 10k race so far)

But by far my best 'PB' is the joy I feel every time I get out there.

The picture is me by the stream where I finish my cool down. Today I did some stretches for the first time, thanks to advice from a few of you!

Love this community and love running xx

Stream: I'd just want to wade in....

You've got running very well integrated into your life, with a realistic set of goals. Fantastic.

Great post. You've made some great and lasting changes to your life (and waistline) I'm sure you'll crack that elusive 30minutes 5k very soon

Great to hear. It's a dream realised isn't it, and it's within reach of normal folks 🙂 I only wish I'd heard of C25k years ago

Being so much lighter makes our running so much easier ☺️ Although I have managed to put three pounds back on 😩

Yes, I wish I'd found running sooner, but it's great to feel it's never too late. Im sure you'll shake the 3 pounds 😊 I'm now pushing in to lose another stone and I'll go off like a rocket!!!

Good for you. Being in another stone lighter bracket sure puts a spring in your step and spurs you on as it's like batting downhill. I felt dead springy once I'd ditched the lard
