Who would have thought it. Overweight, recent ex-smoker who couldn't run the 60 seconds without stopping just over 3 weeks ago, has just completed week 3 run 1 without stopping. Even the heavy rain stopped as soon as I got outside. Really enjoying myself. Off for a relaxing bath, but just needed to share xxx

Well done. It is a great achievement. You should be proud of yourself. Every week the sense of elation increases!

Well done! I'm also an ex-smoker (6mths) now and I am amazed what these old tar-laden lungs are capable of. I couldn't walk up 3 flights of stairs at work without getting puffed out (awful if walking with marathon running boss!). Now I can walk up the stairs and talk at the same time! The body obviously has great powers!

Not what you're looking for?
