65 + Never been a runner

I have just been prompted by the "the system" that although I have posted I have not introduced myself yet. I am am just about to start week 9, its only another 2 minutes isnt it? Everyone seems to say that they cant believe that they are running for as long as they are, I am one of those,I was a complete non runner and now about to run for 30 mins nonstop! It is hard, especially the first 15 mins and then I get so hot, takes me about half an hour to cool down. You do feel good though or is it smug? Not sure, don't care.

Well done, you are so close now 😎

We live the runner's halo of smug. It never slips, because we are runners. And it has a nice shiny pink healthy glow to it
