I've only gone and done it !

32 Replies

I've been lurking this site ever since I began my journey and run by run I've checked how other runners are doing ~ well tonight it's time to break the silence ... this grandma is now officially a graduate of the C25K

To anyone starting the program I would like to say:-

Believe in yourself, you are strong, get out there and get to know the 'real you' the runner inside is waiting to take you on an amazing adventure xx
