Week 9 complete!!!

Before I started using this app I had never run a single minute in my life. I am 56 years old and overweight so had to do something. On the first day of running I didn't think I would survive the first minute. Last night I ran my final 30 minute run and feel fantastic. The thing that I am most proud of is that I never gave up on any run. Proudest achievement for myself ever.

Congratulations. If you haven't already try doing a parkrun. They are lots of fun and will keep you motivated.

You might also think about joining a running club, they take runners of all abilities and are cheap to join.
