Getting There

Just completed Wk7 - Yay. I didn’t think I would ever get further than Wk1 and yet here I am with only 2 weeks of the program left to do. I haven’t run since school which I left 40 years ago so to say I am over the moon with my progress so far would be an understatement. I am very slow but finding the runs just right for me at the moment. I’ll work on my speed/distance once I have graduated. The feeling of accomplishing each run is wonderful. I’m soooo happy I found this app 😃
