Um, June or July??? 🤔

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to JoanneBrowne]

well spotted! Did you want a badge?

[JoanneBrowne Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

No, I don’t deserve one yet. Only returned to running after injury and holiday on 21 June. Let’s see how July goes - so far, so good! I have signed up to do my first 10K race in September.

[HoagyM Graduate10]

Hi ju-Ju, can I have my 10k badge please, after my run this morning? 😎

Why thank you, kind lady! Not sure I should really be talking to you “little undergraduates” any more though 😉😂

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to HoagyM]

[HoagyM Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to HoagyM]

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

Of course - my Garmin ❤️❤️❤️

[sallenson Graduate10 in reply to Ripcurlrana71]

It's done a great job for you so far, hon!!

[Ripcurlrana71 Graduate10 in reply to sallenson]

[Toryblueyes]

Hi ju-ju, did my last run yesterday W9R3 please can you send me my 5K graduation cert. My name is Victoria Harvey

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Toryblueyes]

Hi there did you graduate from C25k or a 10k?

[Toryblueyes]

Hi ju-ju C25K

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Toryblueyes]

Ok, will do... its just that you posted on Bridge to 10k...so I was a little confused

[Tbae]

Hi Ju,

Hope that bite is OK.🤔

Before I got on your bus as a panther cub I had already knocked off a few 10k’s & 12.6k all logged on Strava,first one back in May.

Following speed challenge I did a 10.9k last Sunday 8th July on Strava.

Going for HM on 29/07/18.🤔

Do not want to be weighed down with too many badges/bling all at once.🙈😂

So can I have my 10K badge now please.👍

I want to repeat next intake 10 magic on 5k and 10K pace improvement if that is acceptable.🤔

Take good care of you and thanks for all your help

💥🏃‍♀️🐆💥

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Tbae]

Very well deserved to you, you are doing just brilliantly and you are encouraging so many on here too. You are a star

[Tbae in reply to ju-ju-]

We all do our best.I just shuffle along with your help and the help of this magic forum.💥🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️🐆💥

[Hidden]

I just ran 10k, but I may have skipped a few of the later runs. Does that count?

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Well done you, and would be great if you carried on the plan. No its not the same rules as C25k but obviously the plan is designed to ideally get you there without injury etc. Well done I am v proud

[tvuk2000]

Hi Ju-Ju, I ran my first 10k last night (still can't believe it) so could I have my graduation badge please. Thanks again for the great plan which got me here albeit skipping a few weeks. I'll be continuing the format for a while anyway as it works really well. Thanks Steve

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to tvuk2000]

Brilliant, well done you...

[Hericus Graduate10]

May I have my 10k grad badge? Run the distance twice now.

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Hericus]

Brilliant.... well done

[Berksrover Graduate10]

Please may I have my graduate badge? Thanks, Berksrover

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Berksrover]

So well deserved, huge well done

[Sadie-runs Graduate10]

Hi ju-ju

Stick a fork in me, I'm done! (as in, I did 10k this morning). Whoop whoop!

Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Sadie-runs xx

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Sadie-runs]

See- you can do it, and you did.... HM next?

[Sadie-runs Graduate10 in reply to ju-ju-]

Thanks ju-ju! I feel so proud to see that Graduate10 badge by my name. And yes, a HM has been playing on my mind…

[Hidden]

From someone who wasn't sure whether to get on this bus, I've gone to bounding towards it and hitting my 10K tonight!

As my surgery date finally come through and threw a spanner into the works, I had to make quick decisions and pressed on with a hope and a prayer.

Thankfully I started with a decent level of fitness and it all come together.

I was grateful for all the advice and guidance around the forum and of course from ju-ju- and Bluebirdrunner especially.

As for what's next, well it's going to have to be a post-recovery re-run, so I get to join the journey all over again! Not sure where I'll be able to pick up on Ju-Ju's plan, but will probably start with some power-walking. I'm quite looking forward to it, as I know what to expect!

I've thoroughly enjoyed this journey and hope to enjoy it second time around just as much 😍

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Good luck with your forthcoming op Sutsha...wishing you a speedy recovery 😊⚘xx

[Hidden in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you! Go in Tuesday and just want to be on the road to recovery already. I know you can't rush these things though and I can already see I'm going to be a terrible patient. 😬 😘

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to Hidden]

Huge well done, and all the very best with your surgery.... Take Care XX

[Hidden in reply to ju-ju-]

Thank you Ju-Ju! I'll have plenty of time to admire your workouts and cheer you on your runstreak! 😘

[SIXmm Graduate10]

Hi JuJu

I can’t believe I’ve just ran my first 10K. I feel great and finally all my training has paid off. I’ve lost over 2st and now my desired weight too (double bonus).

I would love my graduation badge... and a new challenge please 😂

P.s. my time was 57m for 10.2K

[ju-ju- Graduate10 in reply to SIXmm]

What a great time, and huge well done on your achievement

[BethMay]

Hi I’ve just run 10k on my 50th run since beginning C25k in April 😊. Please can I have my badge? x

[Hidden in reply to BethMay]

Just stopping by to say very well done again BethMay ! #kudos 👏👏👏🍾🥂🏆

[BethMay in reply to Hidden]

Thanks so much chick. Really appreciate it 😊
