The reason I started C25K last year was to eventually run a half marathon to fund raise for a small local charity that's close to my heart - managed, with others, by my daughter for autistic young people and their families. Injury prevented the half marathon last February, but yesterday I did the Brighton Marathon 10K.

So all those out there starting on their C25K, it's amazing and opens up possibilities that you probably never dreamed were possible. There's a whole new world of opportunity and fun out there, it's free and it's up for grabs. And by the way, secret, I'm in my 70s....don't tell anyone, please πŸ˜‚...it can be done, age is not a factor, it's just a number πŸ™ƒπŸŽ‰

Happy running everyone 🌻

Well done. I hope you raised a lot of money. I agree about the age thing. It’s just a number. I’m 66 and have only been running about 5 months. But love it.

I did...made the run even sweeter! Mind you, my right knee isn't happy today - it'll be fine tomorrow πŸ™‚

Wonderful! Well done on your 10k.πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ… Having worked with adults with autism for 10 years when I was younger - that sounds like a great charity too!

Thank you for your comments. Yes I'm immensely proud of the work my daughter and her colleagues do. They are making a real positive change in the lives of the affected young people and their families.
