You've got to reach your prime.
That's when you need to put yourself to the test,
And show us a passage of time..."

I stared Couch to 5K in 2019. I'd been ill for quite some time (4 years on and off) and running was something I wanted to try to get my fitness back up. This is me absolutely knackered after 1 min run 90 seconds walk for 20 mins. Yet it clicked.

After I finished couch to 5k. I was ready to do Park Run the week after and then my appendix exploded and then I had ear surgery then covid happened.

It was then I decided to run the Great North Run that year for the MS Society. This was a big goal of mine but due to Covid it got delayed by another year.

Last year I completed the Great North Run last year. Overwhelmed by the support I had (even a little disappointed with the time) and thanks to a lot of you £700 was raised for the MS Society.

I was torn between doing it again but decided to again and had some great support from people. I mean hitting your goal is hard but doing it again!

It's a couple of days to go until I do the Great North Run again but it's good to look back and realise how far you've come. Easy to forget.

Thanks to every single person who's encouraged me on the journey and donated, if you want to donate the link is in the first comment. Thank you all.
