Done it. Back on that podium at last. For anyone considering re-doing C25K, I’d say it’s easier 2nd time round. I think it was easier mentally, because I knew the program would work, and because I already knew I’m a runner 🏃🏼‍♀️ Icecreampolice was hot on my heels once again, but there was NO ICE-CREAM IN SIGHT. None anywhere 😐

It’s good to give the graduate badge a polish. It was getting a bit rusty 💫

🍨 well done!Hopefully see you at a parkrun sometime.

Apart from the start there is plenty of space at Marple. Even then you could stand at the side until the crowd moves off

It is. A different experience though, because mostly, the mental part of the battle is won.
