I'm 50

Today was day 50 and the last day of 'the plan'

"Run 5k and record your time" it said

So I did

33min.52sec :)

I have to fess up that I did not run round the hills of the village this time but had to contend with a strong onshore wind instead. My wonderful other half drove me down to the shore road to run along a lovely fairly flat path, and said if you manage it in less than 35 mins I'll treat you to a very large piece of cake.

Bring on the cake!!

I want to thank all the members here for their support along the way and I will wear my green badge with pride.

Well done you!! Your green badge'll look lovely up beside your name :-)

Look at the sea for me next time you're running beside it, we're landlocked here and I miss the ocean.

And tell us about your next run (with the badge)!
