Done It!

At 52 years of age I felt envious of all the runners I’d drive past thinking I’d never be able to run! My good friend challenged me to do a 5k run so 10 weeks ago I downloaded the app! I love it! I’ve just kept going and achieved my goal! That first 5k run was one of my biggest achievements you just need to keep going anyone can do it! This week I’ve done 2 x 20 minute runs & once a week I will do 5k. It makes you feel brilliant just keep going! Good luck xx
