Noooooo! Not me silly...but I accidentally booked a night out in Liverpool on the Rocknroll marathon weekend! Watching those runners close up on Sunday morning was wonderful, 15,000 people of all ages, shapes n sizes, wondered how many were C25K'ers!! It was truly breathtaking and I found it emotional, I think because I now have some insight into their dedication, madness, willpower. Not to mention what must be driving them, their stories, charity connections, loved ones. And I spotted a friend, it was great to give her a shout, cheer her on. Made me wonder.......she started running last year! Hmmmm??!!!!!

Hmmmm indeed 😊 i did a half marathon after running for 12 months. Maybe you could have a crack at that first. It's tiring so you have to put the training in, which can be a chore. That's the downside though ☺
