Getting Sweaty! Exercise & Fitness

I buy Womens' Running magazine and I also "like" their FB page so I get to see their notifications. Yesterday they were saying how their next issue at the end of January will be their 50th so were asking for peoples' stories regarding running, connected to 50th birthdays or 50th anniversaries, anything to do with the number 50 really. I emailed my story, how I took up running a month before my half-century birthday last year, initially just as an additional means of losing weight, but after one session of C25K I was hooked - and still am! How I never intended to run further than 5K and that my PB distance to date is 14km Finished by adding that I lost 47lbs (and mentioned I did it by 5:2 fasting & CC, of course!) and hit my target weight by October - and she mailed me back to say my story is "inspirational" and it will be printed in the 50th edition. She also asked for my address so that she can send me a prize*!

How lovely :smile:

Yours is most definitely an inspirational story and you deserve recognition for your hard work plus you'll be plugging this WOL in a favourable way as opposed to all the negative press it seems to be receiving.
