10K pb!

In May I started couch to 5k. Never ran in my life aged 55 with a hip replacement and slight arthritis in the other. Joined millions of gyms and exercise programmes over the years never stuck to any. With the support of people in this group I graduated in August and have just done my 4th 10K at Greenwich Royal Park Run. A PB at 1;10:25. So don’t think you can’t if I can you can!!

My Lord!

I am presently dealing with a hip that popped out a bit so to say I am truly cheered up and inspired by your post is an understatement ☺

CONGRATULATIONS on your achievements :)

Very, Very well done; I dream of that sort of speed :)

It is fabulous where this journey takes us- from the couch to infinity and beyond!!

The limitations just get pushed further and further away as we achieve more and more.

Keep running, keep smiling.
