This year 74 old on her own

[Pat184]

When I started the programme back in June 2012 and graduated in the September with my Doctors blessing, hubby was we me every step of the way I. Lost a stone in weight with the help of my fitness pal and felt great. We had always been walkers, hubby doing his long distance ones in between i.e. 40 milers.Then life got in the way I had a fall and dislocated my shoulder so back to walking for me, so after eight weeks of physio, I started again at week 4, slow but I was ok with it, so we got back into our routine. Now my lovely hubby been diagnosed with Prostate Cancer. The treatments making him very tired and he starts radio therapy this week, so we haven't been out for several weeks. I have decided to take a leaf out of legions book and start again at week one on my own and see how I get on. As the saying goes tomorrow is another day. So today I started slow but soon got into a rhythm and when Laura said that's it I jogged through the five minute cool down as I was quite a way from home, so in all did 3.67Km 44.24mins but I don't want to break any records, just keep fit and keep the weight off.

I'm so sorry to hear about your husband, Pat - I hope that he picks up quickly after the radiotherapy and he will be out there soon cheering you on again. And, like everyone says, you're not on your own because you've still got us! All the best to you both

In the meantime, good for you starting working through C25K again! You may be physically running alone, but emotionally we're all here with you. Take care and keep on running!

As a cancer survivor, I wish you and your husband every blessing possible. He can beat it, and I'm sure with your positive support he will soon be back up and around again.

Congratulations on your runs. Time is pretty unimportant (as I keep telling myself), and I hope with all my heart that when I reach your age I am stil running and as fit as you.

Keep running, keep enjoying it, and good luck for the future.
