Week 5 run 3 - nailed it! I am so chuffed! Ten weeks ago, I gave up a 30 a day , 40 year smoking habit and today I ran ( slow jog really) for 20 minutes and still had some fuel left in the tank. Loving life x

Happy Saturday everyone.

Thanks. Even went for a nosey around the local park run to see what that is all about this morning -omg there were hundreds of people there! Didn't even know this existed until recently.

I wish they had one near me - saw one in Ireland in January and was kicking myself I didn't know about it beforehand or I would have brought my gear.
