50 today and running!

[TwiggyL]

At the beginning of this year my New Year’s resolution was to become a runner before my big birthday. Happy to say - smashed it! Completed C25K at the end of February. During my consolidation completed a 5 km, 6 km and 8 km runs. Now training with Garmin Coach. Absolutely love it!

Running has changed my life! I am fitter ( 22 according to Garmin 😂), stronger and happier than ever! To anyone who is still thinking to start running - just do it! You will not regret.

My Team made a lovely surprise this morning and they were very supportive throughout my running journey.

Happy 50th birthday to me!

Happy birthday to you TwiggyL, I am happy to know that you are enjoying your running, onwards and upwards 🏃🏾.

[TwiggyL Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you! I cannot believe how much I have fallen in love with running. I have been asked if I have sold my bike 😂

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to TwiggyL]

No, don't sell your bike, I have been 🚴 cycling since I was 7, only took up running 3 years ago, a combination of cycling and running is excellent, keep the bike and vary your bike ride and runs.

[TwiggyL Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I love running in the cold and cycling in the sunshine. Definitely will combine both!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to TwiggyL]

👍 🏃🏾 🚴

Well done in surviving half a century.

Congratulations, and Happy Birthday! I started C25K a few months after my 49th with the aim to do a Park Run by the time I was 50. I did my first Park Run on my 50th Birthday and have since taken part in 10k and 10 mile events. Keep up the good work as the benefits really kick in once you've graduated 😀👍

[TwiggyL Graduate in reply to MikeJones68]

Thank you! And well done to you too!
