What a momentous day! Today I completed week 9! Not only that, but Saturday is my weigh-in day and I have lost a whole stone over the 9 weeks! I still don't feel like a 'proper runner' (maybe I never will) and am definitely not running 5k yet, but I know that will come.

To those of you out there, keep going, be determined. It really works and really is the best feeling. I have NEVER ever run in my life, and have followed this plan exactly as it was supposed to be. I didn't need to repeat any weeks, although was prepared to if I felt I needed to. It has been such a fantastic journey and now I have signed up for the Race for Life so will keep going....

I am SO amazed at myself!
