Good morning all !. Hope everyone is enjoying this beautiful weather. Well I have managed to complete the C25K. It has taken me a couple of weeks longer than 9 weeks but hey I've done it so I am so chuffed.

Thank you all who gave your support,encouragement and laughs along the way. You are really a great bunch so thank you! I hope that I can still keep in touch.

I shall keep running and now that there is structure to my running I shall carry on the way I have been doing improve on my speed ,although I think this morning and the other morning I felt my speed was in fact getting faster! and go further🍾😄😄

Keep going! It doesn't have to be far, it doesn't have to be fast. Also be more active in general. I walk everywhere these days, as well as running of course. I combine running with shopping too 😀

Me too we have two black Labradors so we walk them twice a day or more and then I run . And like yourself I walk most places although I work in a different county to where I live so I have to drive,there😄😄
