I've done it!

Well, yesterday was due to be my Graduation run but I felt it may be too hot, so I drank lots of water to get ready for today. I went out early which was nice and cool, not much traffic and the birds were singing. As I finished Sarah told me how well I'd done and that she was going to miss me! I admit I shed a little tear! This journey has been incredible. The programme really works. I have never been a runner but after a spell of depression after my Mum died and a sore hip, the doctor said this would be good for me. So, on 1 May I started and here I am today! Feeling so much better mentally, lost weight and feeling fitter! My greatest achievement since the birth of my two daughters 35 and 37 years ago! This forum has been fantastic, so supportive, I shall keep reading and posting. Now to plan for my first Parkrun...

Happy running everyone! :)
