This time last year the thought of going out for a run at 8am on my birthday would have seemed ridiculous...but C2K second time around with Mr P going well. Wk4 came as a bit of a surprise to him running for 16 mins all told, but he’s not hating it and I am loving it even more second time around!! 51 and plenty of life in the old girl!!

Of course there is! Age is but a number. I feel fitter now then I ever did and I’m 61 this year, and planning my second marathon on my birthday 🙂

Blimey fair play! Well done you, don’t think I will ever manage that, but it was a nice start to the day! 😜

I started at the beginning and just kept going. You don’t ever have to stop. A bit at a time and who knows where you’ll end up 😃
