Good morning and thank you for your welcome : )

I had my stroke march 2016 it was a mid brain stroke. I lost my balance and had total double vission which Lasted a few months but had a wonderful rehab nurse come out to me every week.

I was extremely lucky as my limbs came back to full use. I still veer slightly to my left side while walking sometimes but I just have to adjust myself and apologise to anyone if I bump into them 😐

I'm in the process of doing couch 2 5k im doing my 3rd day of week 4 today. Its hard.

But I want to do it so I can achieve my goal to one day run a half marathon with my son 😊

Hi Wittycjt,

Please accept my apologies for being stupid. The c25k is the programme that gets you from just sitting around on the couch to fit enough to run 5k. In about 9 weeks : )
