I'm back!

Hi guys, I haven't run since doing the Bristol 10k in 2015, and I've just entered for the 2018 race, so I have 20 weeks to get better than I was then, my time was a pathetic 1 hour 23 minutes, but I'm at least a stone lighter, and probably fitter too, thanks to regular classes at the gym.

Is the lovely Laura still downloadable? It was she who got me running back then, and I really need her now! I'd appreciate a link, if she's still available.

Thank goodness, the lovely Laura is still there! Don't get me wrong, I think Sarah Millican is a funny lady, but to be honest there's a degree of "eyebrows up toward my hairline" when I think of her running! No, I need Laura, she's the best, and only she will do! She's got me through C25K twice before, and will do again.
