Is this really me!

Wowser! I have just carted my 60 year old frame that is (still) three stones overweight on W5R3 - 20 mins non stop. I smoked for 25 years and have drunk copious amounts of Guinness for as long as I can remember. It shows that C25K really works. My Mrs can’t believe it nor can I. Bring on W6.

You give me hope! For the first time in this program I’m dreading today’s run which is the one you’ve just done!! Once I’ve done it (I hope!) I know I’ll feel invincible! Well done you!! You are amazing and you’ve inspired at least one nervous runner today! 😁

How did you get on Crockymumma. The bit that helped me was when Michael said you’re fit enough - the biggest battle is in your head. Once I accepted I could it was easier.
