But still hard work. Just not as dawnting (not sure of that spelling)

And all down to nhs'c25k & you guys! Said it before I'll say it again. When I think back to about May this year when I started this with serious intentions. I really could have NOT run to the end of the street. Now I can run for over an hour & love it!!

:-) KEEP THE FAITH! it's hard but SO worth what you'll get back!!

Same for me :-)

That's amazing :-) I can't believe you've achieved so much in less than a year!

I've only just started week 7 but my aim is to be running 7k regularly and to be able to do a 10k :-)

Thank you so much for the post- so inspiring! :-D

Nice one John, I've not run that far yet, although working up to it, so can appreciate how pleased you must feel.
