yes yes yes yes!!!! done & done. OMG what a rush. So Laure abandoned me with 10 minutes to go so I just kept going! ended up running 38 minutes @ 4.1/3 kph completed 3.38 km. I ended up doing the White House run as it elevates to 49%.

I CANNOT believe me, I have done this.

Thank you thank you to all my peers also who gave me encouragement, motivation & support to get through this and to all the well wishers - you make this an awesome community!

I am actually quite emotional this has been an incredible journey and i feel like I can do anything.

Next up 5K+ then I downloaded 5k intermediate from the iFit.

thank you from the bottom of my heart

Thanks Paul - tee hee I am a Graduate! yes its means so much. Being asthmatic teachers didn't really encourage you to push yourself. I did lots of sport but hated running cos it was so painful. So being 46,overweight, having given up smoking, got made redundant, found a new job and completed this all in 2 years - it means i am in charge of me and my life. Feels fantastic.

And you all helped me do this

Support is so important - thank you
