Well I had a plan to be running 5k by the time I turned 50 and I am doing it 3 times a week now! ππΌππ»ππ»ππ»Today is my 50th and I am so grateful to your encouraging voices. This is such a supportive group. I've never seen anything like it before. I really would have probably given up otherwise. Onwards and upwards now! π
50 today! Thank you: Well I had a plan to be... - Couch to 5K
50 today! Thank you
Brilliant brilliant! Happy birthday! I took up running as I approached my fiftieth...no regrets at all (despite spell on IC recentlyπ) Loved it so much I did my first half marathon before my 52nd birthday.... so you never know what lies ahead! Good luck and enjoy!!
Wow that is really inspirational Sandra! I'd be happy with doing 10K by 52! Something to strive for!
Wishing you a very happy birthday. What a gift you have given yourself. Long may you enjoy it.
Keep running, keep smiling.
A very Happy Birthday Decker and many congratulations on reaching your goal and sharing it with us. πmay you enjoy many more happy running years. π
Happy Birthday! Well done! My approaching 50th spurred me to work on health - I worked on yoga and walking first, but at 54 I'm now running 30 minutes very comfortably and working up to 5K.
Happy birthday, you certainly have something to celebrate, well done π
Wishing you a very Happy Birthday and congratulations on your achievement. Wishing you a long happy and healthy running career into the distant future.
#sings# Happy birthday to you. Happy birthday to you. Bet you are glad you can't hear me!!
Congratulations on your 50th! What a great achievement & present to have given yourself. Your growing children will appreciate all the active things you do with them & so will your grandchildren - eventually!! Keep runningπ
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!! And congrats on the running too. An inspiration! xx ππππ
Happy birthday π and welcome to the half century club π
Well done on your running achievement too ππΌππΌ I absolutely love this forum!
Happy Birthday and welcome to the 50's club! Many of us seem to have taken this up in the run up to our 50th, me included. I'm now half way through B2 10K. Never thought I'd get this far! The family are all amazed I've stuck at it. My advise is keep it slow and steady, take the highs and lows as par for the course and try to find a local Parkrun.
Thank you ladyharvills. Yes I am amazed I am still at it too! Your path is an inspiration and my eventual goal is a weekly 10K but for now I am very happy with tweaking my 5ks π slow and steady as you say. I am in Canada and the nearest Park runs here are around an hours drive away, so I'm local for the moment. Going to do a charity fun run in August though, with other people π
Happy birthday. Well done you!
Thank you kindly Valcart!
Dash it, missed this one, so hope you had a grand 50th Decker x
No worries! Thank you kindly quirkybee! It was a great day and I think I ran that day too so it was all good!
