Had to take blue inhaler before starting this morning, then I did my run ok but it was hard. Realise I've got some inclines on my new route so I'm factoring that in to how I feel about my progress. Noticed I'm quite a bit faster now ( temporarily!) on the flat stretches. Am doing a local 3k route plus a bit extra each end and reckon I've managed c.4 k in 28 mins, so I'm v pleased. Telling myself there's no way I won't complete the course now, with just 4 more runs till ... Graduation! If I can do this, you absolutely can too, honestly!

Thank you. I keep repeating how exercise averse I've been all my life, and yet someone like me has come this far! Amazing , simple program. Doing what it says on the tin!
