C25K W9 R3 Job Done😎😎

Hi all, this is my first post, and thought I better introduce myself.

I’m a 53 year old truck driver from Scotland with a physique resembling Jabba the Hut. I started C25K in October, and have run every second day to work my way through the programme.

I’m still in shock that in such a short space of time I’ve gone from struggling to run for 90 seconds, to running for 30 minutes.

I’m hoping to continue running every 2nd day now, and see if I can lose a bit of weight in the process. Today I graduated, and I’m going to celebrate with a latte and a mince pie. 😎😎

Well done!! It’s so nice to complete the task and graduate. I graduated last week and I’ve managed to do 3 runs since and I have a bit of confidence under my belt doing it. I hope the same for you too as you keep running.
