Can't believe I've done 3 weeks already , struggle to get out of the door and hate people seeing me but I'm determined . Luckily a young guy running this morning passed when I'd only just started final 3 min run so I felt in control , 2 minutes later and I would have been willing Laura to say slow down you've done it. Lol . I feel so good when I get home and stand in the garden doing my stretches . I love reading all the comments of newbies and graduates, the info is so helpful and pushes me on. Thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š xx

Go Kate go. Well done you. We've all been there - or are following you. Do you realise you are already an inspiration to people on week 1 & 2? You are also part of the reason some of us graduates keep going. I still struggle to get out of the door sometimes, but you remind me of how far I have come and why I must keep going. And I SO remember that feeling of not wanting to be seen - but it's been gone for a long time now, and it will disappear for you too before long. We are all with you every step of the way.

Well done Kate, you are doing great. I wonder if we all go home and stretch in our gardens.

I only ever seemed to see people running when I was walking. I always thought they would think I had given up! Now I see people when I am running too. Makes me feel part of the club! They might be c25kers too!โ˜บ
