After abandoning my run this morning due to icy pavements and slipping, I’ve managed to get back out and I’ve actually graduated!!!! 🎉

9 weeks ago I couldn’t run the length of myself so I actually can’t believe I’ve managed it. Thanks to everyone who has supported me - you’ve been brilliant!

Best bit for me was completing the 20 minute run for the first time. We were away at a caravan park and I can still remember the feeling when I achieved it.

I’ve downloaded the 10K app but will spend 2-3 weeks redoing week 9 to build up my stamina and speed before moving on. I’m looking forward to the journey with you all. X

Thank you. I love bling - hubby says that’s my problem, I like things that sparkle too much 🙈

in reply toSarah_lou18

What's up with bling? Blingtastic is the way to go in my opinion - you've just got your first one! Im still looking for sequinned running tights - they must exist!
