Puffed out

Have never ever ever written online before. Week one for me. Another v overweight 40 something.....don't recognise myself. Used to be very fit - 2 kids later. Bother my boys super sporty and postman hubby keeps slim on his round. Am gonna sign up for a family 5k in the summer but just being able to run for half an hour without dying would feel great. Good luck to all other C25Kers whatever stage you are at.

Well I was size 10 on my wedding day and now a 16/18... How did that happen? I blame the kids haha!! Seriously though I don't recognise myself either and signed up to this to sort myself out - I need to be fitter but a bit of weight loss wouldn't hurt either ;-) We can do this!!! Keep posting how you are doing...

You can do it, run the same route and you will see your progress on each run. Rewards work and encourage. Make a postman proud.
