Thank you everyone for being so encouraging after my first run. I feel like C25K and I are old friends, I have started it so many times.
Today run 2 AND instead turning down the slope I went up the slope ( OK it was a very small incline!). It was so glorious out there and I passed other runners doing the loop. I said C25k start as I was on second walk and the next time they passed me going in the opposite direction they called out" keeping going, doing great", I was running at this time. I was always worried about what people would think of a very slow old person but it is better than sitting. Long may this weather last.

I have a slope of Hope - I hope one day I can run uphill for 500 metres - it’s the hope that acts as a spur! Well done you got taking the hard choice not the easy one
The speed is not important when I now look at everyone I work with and know I can run further than any of them! Keep up the good work and yes may this weather live long.
Do not be concerned by what people might think about a very slow old person running, but think about being the inspiration to others , because you will be.
