Well, we've been and gone and done it. Five of us this morning completed the Newcast Great North 5K Run. My time wasn't brilliant (42.06 min) but elated that I got round and ran (slow jogged) all the way round. Never would have dreamt I could have done this early July when I embarked on Couch to 5K. Next goal to slowly get my time better as I would like to hit the 30 min mark.

Thats absolutely brilliant Jean-Jeannie, you must be soooo proud of yourself! It would be great to post something like this too once I have achieved it to the end of the programme - onwards and upwards!
