Made it!

Have been quietly doing my thing after reaching 30 minutes of running on c25k. I ‘run’ so slowly that 30mins is nothing like 5k for me. It actually takes me 50 mins or more on a hot day.

I did the Race for Life 5k on Sunday and managed to run the whole way though it was really warm. This was my aim when I started so can tick that. And raised over £200.

New target, which is highly aspirational, is to get my time down to 45 mins - a mighty big ask. We shall see.

Good luck all with your running. 🤞

Brillant job.👍

I think you will have to practise your smile also, because after you just keep building you and your miles you are going to surprise yourself.🤔

Mighty big ask🤔but look who is asking , a mighty big runner.

congratulations to you 'Over65' for completing your Race for Life 5k on Sunday, I bet you felt wonderful to raise over £200 for that good cause.
