This is fabulous news to hear. You are always going to feel the loss of your soulmate, but Paul... having got to know you both a little:) I know she will be so, so proud of you .

Many, many of us have repeated C25K again.... and it may be hard, but, we know what to expect, and we know we can do it.

Slow and steady as you go , my friend xxx

Hello 👋 Paul, so good to see you out there running again. And I’m thinking your wife is running with you in spirit through the landscapes we run in.

I’m currently also redoing C25k! So well done for getting there again.

Run 1! The start to another rewarding journey. 👏👏👏👍🏽

That’s great that you started again, so sorry for your loss, I’m sure your wife would be proud. Keep posting there is so much encouragement here. Keep the thoughts positive and keep running.
