My challenges to myself are the following:

1. Complete the couch to 5k (and beyond)

2. Lose 21lbs

3. Get back my waist!

4. Be ready mentally to start training in October for the London Marathon 2017, should I get in via the ballot.

Some targets there.... take it steady and you will get there. Focus on simple steps and take it at your own pace.

Thanks everyone for your good wishes and encouragement. I've never joined a forum before, but it really gives me something extra being a part of it. Ok, so wk 5 run1 completed. Found it quite tough, especially middle 5 mins, but got there, so feeling good! Knees aching a bit now, but no pain, no gain! I just love this programme!!!
