Yesterday I ran the virtual London Marathon. Those of you who have given me confidence, made me believe in myself and have encouraged my journey Thank You, you are superstars. October 2017 I started running as part of my 70th birthday year challenges. The C25K seemed impossible. I still don’t think I’ve got ‘the bug’. But the buzz is amazing. Enjoy your running. I may be having a few days off! 😂🤣🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️

When we took those first tentative steps on C25k little did we know where it would lead 😀

I hope you’re feeling good today 🙂

Congratulations CandyCool, I don’t know how you did it in that awful weather yesterday, but you did. I bet you didn’t think you’d do that when you started c25k

In the night all I could hear was lashing rain. By the morning it was a constant heavy drizzle, but the puddles and flood dissipated. At 26 miles the sun came out! Just a brilliant day x
