I haven't got a recent photo of me anywhere handy, but believe me I look different now!
Anyway - one year ago I started the C25K programme, best thing I ever did! My then nearly 13yo came with me, with a stop watch and he did the timing - and oh my gosh, that one minute running was HARD, I felt like I was going to die! But I started, and finished, the programme and the rest is history :)
So, since last year -
- I've lost 25kg
- I've run five 10km races (and improved from 1:12 to 59:40)
- I've run one half marathon
- I've done things I only ever dreamed about (Duathalon, 10k, Incline run).
- and the biggest thing, I'm training for the London Marathon!
Okay, I found two photos from Saturday's race, but really they're not that good - I need to pose for the camera! LOL
Here I am trying to avoid getting my feet wet -
and at the end!
That is AWESOME! Very inspiring.
ReplyDeleteIt is amazing how much your body can change and you can accomplish in a year. I know that only a year before my marathon, I couldn't believe that I was preparing for a 10k... that seemed so far!
They may be tiny pics, but you still look great!
It just goes to show what you can do with a whole lot of determination! You rock!
