In September 2012 I'd been running for 6 months, I managed to run just shy of 50km over the course of the month at a an average of 7.6kph.
This September I've run just over 130km (down from 180 in August, but I was on holiday for most of the month) averaging about 10kph.
I started this month with a 25 min parkrun (and 2 seconds but who's counting?) and finished it with a half marathon in 2 hours and 55 seconds, I was so elated when I finished, but if only I'd run 3 seconds per km faster...
My weights down from 96.2kg this time last year (started at the end of march at 112kg) to 77kg now and it's all down to Laura, who I listened to only briefly, but she did design a nice programme, and MyFitnessPal. Oh and maybe a little bi of determination
Happy? I should cocoa! Badge finally requested

Your stats for September this year and last year (and August, I was off work most of the month as well) are very similar to mine except I didn't round off the month with a HM.
Well done, brilliant times and distances (though I had to work out the 3 second/km bit in my head!). Keep up the good work!
Fantastic achievement. You have every right to feel very proud of yourself. Thanks for the post to help inspire us. I hope I can come back with something as positive next year.
Well done. Loads to be proud of there. I have gone through a similar time frame and weight loss (at 82kg from 105) and it feels great. I've suffered a few injuries and ailments which has put me back slightly a few times but I have done several 10mile runs. I just want to do that bit extra now for the half marathon! I would love to be able to do the 5k in 25mins. My best is 27.24 on my own. I bet a parkrun would help though. I haven't done one yet but would love to when I can find one locally.
