Wk 3 done

[BeckySharp1]

I am buzzing. 50 yrs old and haven't ran since schooldays. Feeling positive about the next few weeks but also can't quite believe I am doing this!

Fast approaching 50 myself & hadn't run for around 18 years (and even then it was badly and not with any guidance)! Like yourself I'm absolutely buzzing this time round having just finished W6. Enjoy each week of your journey & keep sharing, it's a great motivator for both self and others.... Have a great weekend feeling proud of yourself 😉

This was me in March. I am also 50 (was also seriously fat and now just a bit fat LOL!) and ran my first 10K last week. You can do anything if you build up to it. Enjoy!

What a fabulous achievement!

[mayaena Graduate in reply to BeckySharp1]

The biggest step is getting started - you've already achieved that - well done!

I'm 58 and also haven't run in any capacity since school. I'm 30lbs overweight and never in a million years thought I could do this, but I AM, and loving it! Long may the buzz continue!

[mayaena Graduate in reply to Boofle999]

Yes, yes, yes!

[ItstheMarchHare Graduate]

Lol, me too. 49, never run before and just done W3R1!

[mayaena Graduate in reply to ItstheMarchHare]

Well done!

Great, Becky!!! Similar with me. My tagline for the past 30 years has been "I hate running" whenever anyone was trying to lure me into it. And suddenly I decided to give it a try and... Surprise! I am going for W4R3 today and enjoying it. Strange, isn't it? 😂

It's like flipping a switch in your brain or something
