I had a very enjoyable afternoon yesterday, a paella party with lots of beer so wasn't sure about going out this morning but went anyway and managed a nice steady 5k, I only mention this because without C25K, 5 months ago a run of any sort was unthinkable, so whatever stage of the programme you are on, keep going, it is so worth it (and you get to buy the C25K graduate t shirt! #happyrunning

There are pin badges too 😄 I prefer a vest to run so I ordered a badge instead

Great progress 😁💪✊ it's hard to believe after a while that we can progress so far in a relatively short time 😉👍

You’re rocking that T-shirt, Steve! 🏃‍♂️😎❤️

(I’m thinking of switching to Strava - you seem to get twice the calories burned than I do on Runkeeper...😂)

Lol, thanks mountaindreamer but the calorie burn is more likely to be because I am a labrador to your whippet!

Blow - I was hoping Strava would reward me with more chocolate bars! 😏❤️😂
