I graduated!!!!!

[JudeB21]

Just completed the last run of week 9 and felling really chuffed with myself.

9 weeks ago I struggled to run for 60 seconds and the idea of running for 30 minutes was a joke. But, I've stuck with the schedule and although today wasn't the best of runs I still ran the full 30 minutes.

I did it!!!!! Me, an overweight 63yr old woman who has avoided exercise whenever possible throughout my life.

Why didn't I do this years ago?

To all of you still on this journey, be positive, if I've done it anyone can. Just keep on keeping on x

Congratulations JudeB21. I am 61 and am in the 5th week, but the4th week repeating routine. I am very impressed with what I am doing. 60 seconds, in the beginning, was like going to the end of the world, now I am doing it. No, nearly the graduation, but I am on int.
