Wow, very well done, you should feel very proud. I am hoping to join the HM club in October (but feeling that it is an impossible task at the moment!).

Thank you 😊 I'm so proud I did it. Back in January when I started C25K I said to my wife I'm gonna complete a half marathon before summer is over she said I'm mad, but I worked for it and I hit my goal I did it so proud of myself I'll be buzzing for days, its not an impossible task you too will complete your first half marathon its all about grit nd determination nd how bad you want it you go girl nd smash it πŸ‘ŠπŸ‘Š..
