Well done ned63 and you too Fitfor60! You are both demonstrating the very best changes to attitude that C25K brings about - determination, grit, bloody-mindedness etc etc :D And eventually, of course, success, fitness, health, smugness and many more silly grins ;)

We're all so pleased for you, and 'virtually' cheering you and willing you through those next few runs! You'll get there, no worries. Not long now to graduation. Looking forward to seeing your graduation blogs soon, keep running and spreading the word. Have fun, Linda x

Thanks Linda It means so much to have graduates encouraging us still working through programme

Hi ned63 I was bit worried about run today but your post really helped -- it made me relax and I went out thinking I can do this and what's the worst that could happen if I had a ' bad' run And do you know what I didn't ! Really enjoyed run - no wind sunny and bracing rather than really cold So thanks to you both for posting on this forum . Good luck to you both with your running

Why don't we have a 'thumbs up' icon? Great news... definitely the best attitude for success (bad days and s**t happen - that's life) but it aint the end of life nor the end of your C25K challenge :D

Well done. My legs felt like iron today but I kept telling myself I will do this I WILL do this. Your getting there, keep going.

Just like 'The Little Engine that Could!'! Brilliant - next time leave the iron on the ironing board! LOL
