Nine weeks ago I started this challenge and this fat lad couldn't even run up the stairs without being out of breath and tonight I have just completed week 9, run 3 and managed 5k in 30 minutes. So if you are reading this and just starting out and think you can't do it, you can because if this 52 year old fat lad just did.

Thanks guys. Couldn't have done it without all of your great advice and encouragement. Even managed a sprint at the end, well a fast shuffle at least.
