Well I did it!

Hubby drove me to another village on my disused railway route. Chilly morning but at least it was dry.

Thank you everyone on this forum for all your advice and encouragement.

Who would have thought I could do this when I started couch to 5k in September. Ran in 69 mins so very happy with pace too.

So very chuffed 😊

Thank you. I have tried to run slower but just seems this is my pace especially as my route is flat 😉

Well done Carolyn! Been a week out with my shin splints and feel ok so hoping to start the programme of Ju-ju’s tomorrow - will never be as fast as you (well not till the weight comes off). Congratulations- you’ll be doing marathons soon 😱

I’m so chuffed for you, very well done - you so deserve that fanfare and celebration 🎉🥂🎉🎊🚀🎷🎺🏅🤸🏼‍♀️🍾
