Ran week 8 run 2 on my 80th birthday on Saturday. Unexpectedly joined by my son who accompanied me for 28 minutes if very wet conversation. Now to complete week 8 today. Not sure if all that cake and wine was the right preparation yesterday - not to mention the steak and ale pie. Watch this space!

Fantastic! I just turned 70 and started C25k six weeks ago - about to tackle week 7. I thought I was probably the oldest person on here so great to hear your progress! It is very reassuring.
