C to 50 x 5K

Well, I've done it! 50th parkrun on Christmas Eve. I wasn't very well in the run up to Christmas, but managed to get around the course on Saturday morning. My slowest timed run since March, but that doesn't matter. A year ago I wasn't taking any exercise. Now I've graduated through C25k, completed 50 timed 5k runs and a 10k, all in 364 days! If I can do it, anyone can. If you are thinking about starting C25k, recently started, some way through the programme or graduated, keep going. It is well worth it in the end. Next targets for me- some regular parkrun tourism, and an official 10k in April. Thanks for all your support.
