I didn’t even imagine I’d be doing this a year ago. Im 64, over 4 stones lighter than this time last year with 2 stones to go. It may get hard but I’ve got a running buddy, my husband , who does Parkrun and the odd 10k. He’s very patient.

Nice job... not to long til you'll be doing parkrun with the hubby.
That’s my ambition.
Sound like you are making excellent progress, enjoy it. I too have a very supportive husband who runs with me at my very slow pace, even though he has run marathons! I try not to judge myself by his standards and like you remind myself that I am fitter and doing more than I ever did a year ago. I am only managing one run a week because of long working days, but at least it is progress. I will be doing W5r1 this weekend so fingers crossed that the mild weather continues
