I am absolutely cock a hoop! I am 59 years old and have not ran since I was at school - my family cannot believe I have stuck to this and completed it. What an amazing feeling it is! Park run here I come.πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Give yourself a goal every six months and you will get there if you want to. I love it!! :)

Thanks for the advice. If anyone had told me at the start of the year that in two months I would be running 30 minutes I would have laughed and said impossible. πŸ˜‚
