A Happy Day...

[Jonesycat]

Me with bling looking suitably knackered and relieved after my first 10k event, in Doncaster. I can't say how grateful I am to the C25k programme and all the people in both these Communities who so freely and generously offer their tips, advice and encouragement. I never in a million years thought I'd run to the end of our road, so Thank You All!

[Irishprincess Graduate10]

[Jonesycat Graduate10 in reply to Decker]

Thank you, I shall! I've surprised myself - a bit of a lazybones to be honest - getting this far...

[Decker in reply to Jonesycat]

Haha, don’t say that! You did the work, right? 😁

[Jonesycat Graduate10 in reply to Decker]

I did! That's why I'm surprised!

[Razouski]

Well done, it’s such an achievement. These forums are fantastic too, I think many of us owe our continued running to the encouragement and support we get here. I know I do.

[Jonesycat Graduate10 in reply to Razouski]

Thank you. I couldn't agree more. There are posts on here and in C25k which have really helped to change my way of thinking and made me to 'get over myself'. It would have been a lot longer journey without them.

Thank you so much! Yes, I saw your photo of the marvellous Mike1942 and Rita - there's also a couple of ace photos of them as they approach the finish line hand in hand here, if you haven't already seen them:
