I know this might sound daft, but having just completed week 9 run 1, I am in a state of utter shock!!! I know I've got 2 more to do before I graduate, but I just ran for 30 minutes!!!! 9 weeks ago I was puffing and blowing after 60 seconds!!!!

A very happy good morning from the beautiful Sussex coast!!!

I think that's a feeling of wonder that most of us felt almost disbelief really but it's very real and a great achievement so very well done.

A trot down the home straight now and we'll all be clapping you home and on to the podium

Well done! I am on Week 9 Run 2 tomorrow and am hoping for a nice dry early morning. What a fabulous photo and a great place to run you are lucky! I am still in a state of disbelief that I can actually run for 30 minutes plus and that I actually enjoy it! Good luck with your next two runs! We can do this!! xx
