Hi everyone, I don't post things usually but do get alot of encouragement from being part of the community here and love reading how everyones getting on. Today though I wanted to write it down because I'm proud of what I've achieved and wanted to share it with others who would understand Way back in August last year I decided that it would be a brilliant idea if I was able to achieve a few things for my 50th birthday in April like go on a rollercoaster with my son (what was I thinking and still not sure about that one, luckily they're all shut for now :D), get my 1st tattoo (booked for my actual birthday but not sure its going to happen now sadly) and be able to run 5k eek!. It was tough but I completed C25K in October and enjoyed it so much that I stuck with it and then managed my 1st 10k on Boxing day and yesterday I did it (2 weeks early because who knows what's going to happen and I may not be able to get out again for a while) I did my 10 mile 50th birthday (revised) challenge on a perfect, sunny but chilly early morning with hardly anyone around on my local trail and I'm really proud that I've done it. Best still I came home to a homemade pancake breakfast made by my children, lovely! Have to admit though I'm a bit stiff this morning but so worth it Stay safe everyone
P.s sorry about the rubbish photo but I didn't realise that the lens had condensation on it but it was a lovely view of the sun coming up over the river as I headed home again

Wow must have been beautiful out there!! Happy Birthday 🥳 for April. A wonderful milestone & a fun bucket list for you! Well done on your 10K Excellent 🎈🎈 🎈 & lovely family breakfast 🍳
You have achieved so much in a short time , and by only just posting it, you can claim for shiny badges on all 3 forums. C25k graduate, bridge 10k, and marathon 10 mile!
Congratulations 🥳 🍾🥂
Sadly it looks like your 50th birthday celebration may not be as you hoped , but wow you can be so proud of yourself. I wish I’d discovered running at 50!
Congratulations- what a journey you’ve had. We started c25k at the same time but I must admit I’m going for cumulative Kim’s rather longer individual runs. Impressed with your 10miles. 🤣🤣 roller coaster - who thought you’d be saved by Cv19. Keep going with that great work. Happy running 🤗
