Congratulations on both counts! Hope you had a lovely birthday. Very well done for starting this programme, it is really good - best of luck :)

Well done you! I just did my first run too. I don't know what it is, but something just clicked when I did the Race for Life at the weekend. I got home and signed up for this the same afternoon. I just can't believe I've been RUNNING! I have spent a lifetime firmly pooh-poohing strenuous exercise. All the best with your runs :)
