Hello

I decided to redo ct5k, last time was over six years ago.

I need to get fit again as I gave up smoking twenty-five weeks ago.

I have just completed w1 day 2.

Congratulations Hippy123 on completing run 2 of week 1, also, well done on stopping smoking for 25 weeks, almost 6 months, think of the money you have saved over those months. 😊

Thank you, I will be trying to get my kids to come with me during the half term even if they ride their bikes. If they won't a early run it will be before hubby goes to work.

Well done on getting back on the horse Hippy123. I’m also a returner and I thought I’d could never do it again but I’m back to running for 25 mins. Go you!!!! 👍🏻👏🏻
