PB - 4.74K in 30 mins/5K in 33.25 min

Week 9 complete, yes that’s what I said; πŸŽ‰

I still can’t get this into my head.πŸ€”

From a fatty on the sofa to a runner - that’s me!

The programme, the friendship and all for free!!

Never say you can’t, I’m proof that you can;

An old bird in lycra, helped by MJ β€˜the man’! πŸ’ͺ🏽

The ups and the downs, the highs πŸŽ‰ and the lows; 😞

But with the Health Unlocked forum your confidence grows. 😊 πŸ‘

C25K has really changed me;

My fitness and diet are good now you see!

I’ve worked really hard and I’ll never turn back;

To the fatty on the sofa, as I’m staying on track!

Park runs are next - wow that’s unreal! πŸƒπŸ»β€β™€οΈ

Thanks to C25K and the difference I feel!

For the help and advice - I thank you all; πŸ™

Stay in touch and keep running with your eye on the ball! βš½οΈπŸ†

Feeling happy - mission accomplished! πŸŽ‰πŸ˜ŠπŸ’ͺ🏼

Great post & πŸŽ‰congratulations on your graduation and PBs!⭐️

If you are keen to do Parkrun you can register now and log your 5k time on their (not)Parkrun results board. It's just a bit of fun, but worth doing while you are waiting for the official Parkruns to restart.

Go you! Yeah, it's awesome isn't it. I only wish I'd discovered this forum a few weeks sooner, maybe a bit of moral support would have made the early weeks a bit easier. As someone who hated physical activity up to not that long ago, it's actually amazing how much I look forward to my runs now!
