Finnally I've only gone and done it....... W9R3 tick that box DONE !
Thought i'd reflect when i started I ran in "trainers" that i walk the dog in, joggers and a normal bra I was puffed out after 60 seconds plodding next morning ouch my calf muscles killed I had a sore calf muscle for ages and was walking like a granny, week 2 ran down a counrty lane and almost got flattened by a lorry - almost gave up .. repeated W2R2 - week three ran in the park it almost killed me ..took to the gym bliss no hay fever and aircon too! over the coming weeks I had calf pain. back pain sacroilitis, fractured sacrum and a bra mulfunction when a "puppy" escaped whilst next to the gym hunk - then i beat Jesscia Ellis who was running she finnished i kept going! Next I brought new running trainers, running trousers that wick sweat away new tops and a super dopper bra - next i discovered compression socks ...no calf pain - then I really started to love running. So far i've gone from 12st 8lbs to 11st 3lbs dropped two dress sizes, my blood pressure has really gone down and I feel and look great.
I would like to that all that have supported and encouraged me when I needed it for the kickings I had to get me out the door to run and to my wonderful body that has carried my round on all my runs i think I can now say I'M NO LONGER A COUCH POTATOE IM A RUNNER....EAT MY SHORTS

After I read your blog I stopped and thought for a moment.

The confidence, the attitude, the change in who we are...that my friend, is the greatest accomplishment you have accomplished!! Well done...no, BRILLIANTLY DONE!!

That's absolutely amazing, Red - well done you!! And thank you for making me laugh with your brilliant story - what a fabulous journey you've had. I'm 2 runs away from graduating and having just looked at the weather forecast for this week seriously thought about delaying running for a few days until I read your blog. You are an inspiration - I will not give in to mere rain but I will be inspired like you and get out there! Keep running and keep blogging!
Well done, I think my smile at reading your post was almost as big as your smile must have been when you finished your graduation run! What a great journey and this is just the beginning of the new graduate you
'eat my shorts', tee he, indeed!
Well done Missus! And ouch at the broken sacrum, which made me wince.
