Time flies when you're having fun🥳🥳

[Buddy34]

2 years ago today I graduated from c25k. I'm so glad I took up running and I always say it , I couldn't have done it without the support on here.

I still get people asking if I'm still running and they say ' oh I can't run ' and I tell them neither could I but I found a brilliant plan and a supportive forum.

I knew nothing about cadence, pace and didn't even use km , it was always miles.

Had never heard about Garmin watches, which I now love my watch and never ever thought I'd be wearing lycra🤣

So to sum up, I love running , I love the way its made me feel so positive and calm and I've managed countless 5k's, 10k's quite a few 10 miles and 3 HM'S in the past year.

I'm getting a bit soppy now but I'm sure you'll all understand.

Happy running all😁😁😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Congratulations Sharon on your 2 year runniversary on graduating from C25K, well done, you have had an amazing 2 years of running 🏃🏾 👍 May it long continue, by the way if you do meet that lady who asked you to stop running and start smoking again, tell her, "no way" .

[apatsyf Graduate10]

Congratulations on your 2nd Graduanniversary 🏃‍♀️! I don't think I will be running 10 miles for a good while yet, if ever (it's about a year since I graduated, I think!). But with inspiration from people like you, I am still running 🐌 and aiming eventually for 10k. Well done Buddy and thanks for sharing 💐🥂🤗.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to apatsyf]

Thank you . You don't need to run a certain mileage its all about enjoying running and thats more important 😊

[apatsyf Graduate10 in reply to Buddy34]

You are so right. But I do need a challenge to aim for to keep me going!!🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️. Hope to join my sisters in 10k together one day in memory of our parents ❤❤.

[Buddy34 Graduate10 in reply to apatsyf]

I'm sure you'll do it 😊💪

Fantastic. You are flyin it. I'm injured at the moment and it's so frustrating. Never ever thought I would be mad keen to run. Its addictive, in a good way so your posts are keeping me eager to get back to it as soon as I'm able. Give yourself a big pat on the back for your achievements
