Week 8 done and can't quite believe it.

Run 3 went less well than Week 7 and the first 2 runs of this week, but am still feeling both amazed and really good. Not going to dwell on why today's run was more difficult, but just appreciate that I've made it this far, At the start of this programme,even the 5 minute warm up walk seemed a tremendous effort and I genuinely couldn't believe that I would look forward to running for 30 minutes. And it's not just the 1 week to go, I am also excited about continuing to run regularly. I'm still slow so there's lots of progress to come if I keep at it. Over 50 and way overweight, if this programme can work for me it can work for many others.

Fabulous achievement, well done. You are an inspiration to people like me who are a few weeks behind you (just starting week 3) but determined to get there. Good luck with week 9, let us know how you get on.
