I went on my 8th run today (with Abel in front).

I’ve been using the couch to 5K app. I hate running and much prefer cycling, although this app has got me somewhat hooked. The fact I’m still running after 3 weeks proves it! I’ve even brought some new running shoes. I’ve also taken on the gauntlet of 5:2 dieting, in this process I’ve lost nearly 2 stone in over a month and a half. This isn’t a ‘bragging post’ but rather an encouragement to others... if a Galoof like me can do it, YOU most certainly can.

Running and pushing at the same time?

Yup thought It’ll be too hard, also having him saying “faster, faster”! Might be cause for alarm but it wasn’t too bad.

Abel in front and able behind by the sound of it 😉

Funny how C25K gets you like that - never thought I’d do it.

Well done with weight loss too - impressive 👏👏👏
