Just a little update

[B0bP]

Hiya,

Just thought I'd give a little update as I haven't been in here for ages.

I completed C25K around 3 years ago now, ran well for a while then focused more on weights with just 2 or 3 HIIT runs a week. Then I injured a shoulder at the gym and it put me off everything for around 7 months.

I started back running January 2018 and fell in love with it again. Prior to this I had done 10 park runs and a 10K event.

Last year I managed 2 x 10K races, 2 x half Marathons and a 14.5 mile Dark Peaks race.

Last Sunday I completed my first Marathon at Manchester and boy it was tough but so very rewarding. I've already booked my second Marathon at Loch Ness in October, got a couple of half's booked including The Great North Run and The Longhorn 10K is in a couple of weeks.

My running journey started here with this forum and C25K and for that I'm ever grateful.

Here's a pic of my 5 year old Son about to high 5 me on Sunday 😀

Wow! You’ve accomplished a lot in 3 years! Great picture with your son. It’s nice to hear what people have been up to.

Thank you, it’s been an interesting journey from a lazy, overweight smoker to now 😃
