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 furtherπŸΎπŸ˜„πŸ˜„

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 πŸ˜€

in reply to misswobble

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,thereπŸ˜„πŸ˜„

in reply to Shorty7

Thank you Shorty7 yes it's a great feeling ,especially as I live in the sticks and some of the run entails inclines so starting to master them now and there were times I thought that perhaps I wouldn't be able to do it but I did !πŸ˜„πŸ˜„

Thank you so much alibo . Yes I've 2 races coming soon .Only 5 k each but who knows as the year progresses then I might progress to 10 k. But I think that would be my limit as I am clocking 60. However my aim is just to run for fitness and most of enjoyment!
