I started off with C25K back in April, and have just finished my first ever 10K this morning. Really chuffed.

Thanks everyone. The last time I ran (other than for a bus) before this year (I'm 53) was when I was at school. I started the C25K as a way of trying to run some of the Race for Life with some friends and got hooked, much to my absolute amazement.

Yes, hopefully there will be lots more 10Ks, though I am still focussing on getting down to a 30 min 5K, targetting sometime in the next twelve months. It is quite addictive, isn't it?
