I have not posted on here at all this time round as this is my third attempt at completing the course! i have been doing amazing having only last time making it to week 6 and didnt want to tempt fate! however i have now got this far, have even started thinking about doing a parkrun to finish graduation! i see the weather looks terrible for the run tommorow so hoping by my next one on friday it looks warmer as im finding the middle run of the three the toughest!! strange really!! anyways keep everything crossed for me. The inspiration this time is my little 7month year old daughter and the wife is keeping me at it, probably happy that ive lost 13kilos along the way, as well as dieting :) like i said keep it all crossed folks!! :)

Wow- 13 kg lighter and you're into the home straight. I wish you luck, but you don't need it- you've done all the hard work yourself. Well done on persevering :)
