I did it!

[BAC52]

Hi all I'm new on here but just wanted to say well done everyone. I finished my C25K yesterday and it felt amazing. I started last July and got to Week 6 when Covid finally got me! It really knocked me for 6 and then my hubby got it. It seemed to drain all my energy. So I started again in Feb and decided to go back to Week 3 and I've finally made it. Loved having Reece Parkinson with me all the way. There were some days where I struggled and wanted to walk but I pushed thru and so glad I did. Its a mental challenge as well as physical. I punched the air when I finished yesterday. So if I can do it so can you. Happy Easter everyone.

well done and congratulations!! I know from experience how disheartening it is when you are putting in the miles, putting in the effort and then illness strikes and puts a cog in the works. Bloody well done to you for sticking with it. You have earned your achievement and you should feel so proud of yourself.
