Week 10

I did it! At the beginning of December last year I set my self a couple of goals. Long term to be healthier and happier but shorter term to lose a stone in weight and run 5k before we go on holiday. At that time I hadn’t fully understood the C25K 30 minutes rather than 5k thing, but since I graduated last week I could see it was quite possible. So today I managed to run the 5k, and I have 2lbs to go on the other one...... we leave next Wednesday 😱

Who cares about 2lb when you can run 5km and are happier! Well done on achieving those goals. Now are you taking your running gear on holiday?

Congratulations on that 5k. Well done on the weight loss... don’t stress the 2lbs, you’re awesome now.

That’s brilliant, well done E! Don’t worry about the 2lbs by Wednesday, if it happens by then, great, if it doesn’t, don’t let it interfere with the fact you are officially amazing 🤩

PS. Don’t forget to send us a running holiday snap!
