Light at the end of the tunnel

[Geri18]

Completed the first run of week 8 yesterday and can't quite believe I'm nearly there. For someone that's overweight and never contemplated running before, I am really starting to feel like I could be a runner. Thanks to the encouragement of a friend at work who has started a running club and the c25k podcasts I know this is going to be a part of my life for a long time :).

Thanks for your comments, it's been really good at staying focused albeit once a week, then I do the other two runs on my own. Keep up the good work

Well, that's just fantastic! You are so near to graduating! The running club sounds great, and something you can use long term for keeping up the motivation. Look forward to seeing your green badge!

Thanks for your message, I can't believe I'm so close to finishing. My next goal will be getting to the 5k, as although I can keep running the time, I'm a bit slow at the moment, so lots more to aim at. To help me on the way, had a gait analysis today and treated myself to some proper trainers

It's nice to see you on the blogs, rather than hiding in the shadows. You are an absolute star and doing fantastically. Nice trainers you got there.

PS I work with Geri and she's doing fab.

Wouldn't let me reply to your message, some technical error. I've got the new trainers on now and raring to test them out in the morning. Thanks for all your words of encouragement.
