Hi all,

thought I’d better stop being just a reader and actually post. Been doing the c25k for a few weeks now and finally feel able to run. Completed the 20mins run of w5r3 felt like jelly on way home hehe totally didn’t think I was capable of it . ( can you tell I’m chuffed ) . Anyway just wanted to say hi and stop feeling like a stalker hope you all have a great run,

Thanks so much for all your wonderful comments of support. Never thought I’d actually begin to enjoy getting out 🏃‍♀️Instead of just walking the dog. So pleased I decided to post too . Right I’m off to see what everyone else is up to on here.

Thanks again
