Well done! Wont be long before your standing in a park full of people in the driving snow. It kind of gets you like that...

in reply to Rob_and_his_westie

Hope so! I did a snowy run earlier in the programme. Felt a bit mad at the time. Now seems perfectly sensible - I think it might have got me already!

Definitely mad! Tremendously well done. Too much excitement for us all these last 2 weeks. If the running doesn't kill us, the smiling will.

Good for you! Well done. So, how did that feel then? On a scale of 1 to 10?

Did you jump up and down, sing, dance, punch the air, do a little dance on the spot. What? Come on, this stuff is important!

It's getting close now Glud! Two more runs!!! Two. Flippin eck

Pom poms and cheer leaders to your positions please. Where's Slookie when you need her? We need the podium polished toot suite!

in reply to misswobble

Ha ha, thanks Miss W! I have to be honest, I don't think I have ever punched the air in public, but perhaps there's a first time for everything, and perhaps that time is fast approaching...

héhéhé WK9 :)

It is wonderful isnt it ? :)

C25K brings about such a transformation in ability, confidence and expectation. You did all that Laura asked of you, and now you're a fully fledged runner, able to run for 30 mins without stopping. It is amazing, it's wonderful, and you have every right to wear the biggest grin that anyone has ever seen :)
