It was my last official date with Laura today, on W9 R2, since I'll be graduating at the local Parkrun on Saturday. On my journey I have noticed a few things of interest (to me anyway)
My friends and family have been amazed that I started this, stuck to it, and can now run given the reputation I had for being stationary (apart from occasional Morris Dancing). Once when I left a job my colleagues adopted me a Sloth from the local zoo as a leaving present.
My legs have really toned up, and feel solid. Unfortunately my belly has still to shrink, but I've come to terms with looking like a dayglo jelly supported on twiglets as I run round the village.
I need to move house - living at the high point in my village every run is uphill on the home stretch.
Once you get into running gear and get moving then people treat you as a runner, cos you are.
The guys at Parkrun have been really encouraging, but I wouldn't be there without Laura & C25k, and I wouldn't have stuck it without lurking on this forum to read everyone else's journey. You've all been awesome - thanks.
I now need a new avatar photo - maybe of me at a Parkrun in my C25k graduate running shirt?
Happy running all.
Nearing the end!!
Big step forward
End of week 5 - feeling stronger!
