Actually a runner!

I finally finished my third run of week nine last night. Honestly would never have believed I could run for 30mins straight a few months ago, and feel so positive after each run too. I started from never having run before and it took me just over 11 weeks to complete (due to Christmas festivities) but it felt like a great journey along the way - not easy by any means, but definitely achievable with Michael's help and especially this website which is now one of my most visited pages - very addictive! Thanks everyone and good luck to those just starting, I always keep the 'slow and steady' motto in mind :)
