First post - Week 9 Run 1 - I did it!!

I have been reading posts on here throughout my C25K but never posted. I thought it was about time I did as I am very proud of myself! Yesterday I managed to hit both the 30 min and 5k target on Run 1 of week 9.

The next 2 runs will consolidate on my achievement, I may even slow down a little, and then onto the 5k+ podcasts once I have graduated.

Without out meaning to sound smug (oh OK I am little bit smug!) I don't think this is bad going for a 43 year old guy weighing in at 100 Kg!

Thanks to all for keeping me motivated with your posts when I found it tough going.

Be smug, you did it! Welcome to the forum. But remember the programme is not about speed, its about running for 30 minutes. Enjoy!
