That's it, I've done it. I can't believe, I've managed to complete this programme! Although I'm very slow and not up to the 5k yet I'm just so chuffed with myself that I can run 30mins without stopping! Who would have thought this overweight 61 year old could achieve this. I feel so much better,stronger, healthier and have lost 18lb. Must keep it up now and aim for that 5k!

Well done SD61. Don’t worry about the 5k. Only 10% of grads do that. 5k is the next target for most people. Enjoy you graduation celebrations πŸŽ‰πŸ˜ƒπŸΎπŸ₯‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŽ“
