Well done.

That is twenty one minutes of continuous movement between warm up and cool down......................you never know when that bit of information might come in handy.

Keep running, keep smiling.

It is JulieG49, I didn't think I'd manage it tbh, but thought I'd go out anyway, was so happy when she said stop and that I'd done it.

Keep going, it gets easier, I’m one run away from graduating and I never believed I’d do it.

Wow, well done, can't imagine getting there for a while... Not in a hurry though, hoping to do a 5k run in September, so I've got a while to build up!!!

It’s taken me since November and I’m hoping to tackle a 5k around Easter time as I’m not covering that kind of distance yet...too slow!

I'm sure you'll get there, and to be honest I could probably walk faster than I run. When I run I do little steps and when I walk I do long strides, I'm 5'10, so my stride is quite long!!
