Feeling smug!

I had never run in my life and at 64 started C25K and qualified in March. I am now using the C25K+ runs which I am really enjoying especially the stamina one. My routes have always taken in hills at the start then either levelling off or downhill for the back end of the run. I find I struggle in the beginning but after about 10-15 minutes of either running to the beat or slow jogging I feel fine towards the end. Not ready yet to go on to 10K but happy with what I am doing.
