Today’s my 50th birthday.....a momentous occasion in itself but I have something else to celebrate today. I have completed W5R3 this morning and am absolutely buzzing. Before I started this journey I did no exercise at all and struggled with the 1 min runs. It just goes to show what hard work can get you. Have a great day everyone xxxx

Happy Birthday and congratulations - two milestones in one day! 👏👏👏 I am doing W4R1 today and it is raining (first run in the rain!) but I feel inspired reading uplifting posts on this forum like yours. Have a wonderful day 😊

Enjoy your run in the rain. I did one in week 2 and found I actually enjoyed it x

Thank you, it was fine - the rain was hardly anything to speak of when I got out, but my, it was pretty chilly! Hands got cold, but not complaining.
