[stevy]

Hi everyone,l am half way through W8 and have discovered anew energy with me.l love running now,even if l have dogs barking at my heals,(as they often do).Easter is achallenge as there have been alot more people on the routes that l take,but it has not detered me;(to think that when l started this l was worried about,fitness?,what to wear- would l look afool?;would l get jeering remarks from people and friends?),the one best thing was coming onthis site the comments and endless advice,its been great; l want to carry on especially as my aim is to run for acharity thanks all,Stevy.

Hi Stevy, it's a great programme isn't it? I'm at the same stage as you & had all the same concerns but with the support of this fab community I've kept going. Glad you're enjoying the changing seasons too (even if that entails more dogs!) - keep going steady & have a plan for how you'll keep going afterwards. I'm aiming to gradually bridge the gap to 10k so that I can run a race for charity which is one of the reasons I started running. Good luck! See you at the graduation party!!

When you graduate c25k there are the fab, free stepping stones podcasts and then Bridge to 10k podcasts so plenty of choice ☺
