At last, I've done it

[Debih191]

I've finished week 9 run 3.

I can now run non stop for 30 minutes. I can't quite believe it. When I first started I couldn't even manage the 1 minute run. It's taken a long time as I've had to repeat quite a few weeks (three times for week 1) and then I did my back and couldn't run for almost a month.

My journey started in Derbyshire on a frosty afternoon along the canal in mid January and finished in Cornwall (on holiday) in glorious sunshine on a little country lane with views of the sea.

I'm slow and still need to build up to 5k. I'm working towards a 10k in September but if I have to run-walk it so what. I'm doing it.

I feel so much better. I've lost a stone (still 3 more to go), I'm in size 16 jeans and although my wobbly bits still wobble there isn't as much of them!

Wow, congratulations! You've come such a long way already, and there is still plenty of journey ahead of you. Well done!

Congratulations. Very well done 😊 you must be chuffed to bits

Keep running and you will lose those wobbly bits. Trust me. I know 😊

I am in Derbyshire too and will be running up and down the canal once my leg feels better

I grew up in Derbyshire! Beautiful part of the world. Well done Debi, we have graduated on the same day!

Congratulations! Another inspiring story to get me back out there when my injury is better! Enjoy being a 'proper runner' (!) and good luck with the 10K in September.
