I am feeling fantastic. I cannot believe that I have just run, non-stop, for 20 minutes! The C25K and Laura are miracle workers. I feel I owe this achievement to this program and this fantastic community support here .Only a few weeks ago I was fighting for breath after my one minute jog and today I actually enjoyed the run - and I am thinking about the next one - what has happened to me? Perhaps time to shed my potato skin!

Happy for you. I know how you feel just finished wk8 run 1 & can't believe this is me, couldn't stop smiling. Looking forward to graduate, it will be a life achievement.

Lovely smile runlikethewind1, so pleased that the programme has converted yet another couch potato into a runner bean! Keep up the good work, continue to blog to let us know how you get on, and keep enjoying it all. Lots of luck in the weeks ahead. Linda X :D

Well done, enjoy the achievement - the community and programme may have helped you, but it was you who unlocked your own potential. :-)
