Yesterday was my one year runniversary

[Langley-Loper]

I thought to myself this evening, it must be about a year since I started this running thing. So I looked back on my couch to 5k app and sure enough, on 3 July Michael and I first stepped out together.

In the last 12 months I have graduated from C25k, increased to 10k, run my first Half Marathon (see photo) and worn out one pair of shoes but I can still vividly remember wheezing and struggling back in week 1. I thought those 60 seconds were never going to end. I thought at nearly 50 I might be too old. Clearly not.

So stick at it everyone just starting out. The mental and physical rewards can be tremendous. Push on through the barriers and I hope your running brings you joy.

Fantastic and well done. Not sure if the medal or the ice cream was the better reward. Where was the HM?

[Langley-Loper Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Ice cream every time! Saxon Shore half marathon - Herne Bay to Whitstable and back.

[MarkyD Graduate in reply to Langley-Loper]

That sounds like an attractive route.

All you need is a plan, a good plan that suits you, then all you have to do is follow it. Simple!

Happy first Runniversary L-L, 😊

you have acheived so much, I am in awe of all your training and dedication....💪

I enjoyed doing our first 10k's 'together' last November on Ju ju's program, and I'm very impressed that you have worked so hard and put in the miles resulting in a super time for your HM last month....

Congratulations on a great year!😊xx
