I think I’ve caught the bug!!

I’m going to run Week 3 run 3 tomorrow lunchtime at work - can’t believe how much I’m enjoying running! I’m 52 and have high blood pressure - on meds - have been for years - pretty much given up cigarettes and vaping and lost 13lbs so far - feeling great and the sense of achievement after any run is amazing! If anyone’s thinking it may not be for them, give it a try - you may be surprised at what you can achieve and really enjoy it.

If no-one minds, I’ll keep posting progress - I think I’ve bored my other half senseless now!!

Congratulations, by the time you have completed C25K with W9R3 there is the possibility that you will be able to come off your meds, however, it's your doctor that will determine that, good luck for the rest of your running journey. 😊 🏃
