When I started C25K for the first time, I wondered if I’d make it through W5 and once done, I had strong doubts about competing the program … BUT I DID !
Following consolidation, I moved to 5k which I thought would be out of reach - BUT I DID IT!
I embarked on Juju’s MP (time) but really didn’t think I could keep running for 60min …BUT I DID !
Having completed C25K twice more after lengthy lay-offs, I started Juju’MP again but this time I did distance. Each week left me wondering if I could manage the increased distance … BUT I DID !
I am now working on changing my mind-set from
“what if I can’t” 🙄
To
“what if I can” 💪
I’ve found I’m capable of far more than I think and am now sitting here flushed with success of reaching a significant milestone … or should it be km marker 🤔
All of this of course would not have been possible without the amazing support, advice and encouragement from you, my virtual running buddies on this forum so a great big high 5 and thanks to you all 🙌 🙏 very much appreciated 🫶
Happy running everyone 🏃♀️🏃🏻♂️

Thanks I57 - I finished thinking I’m not in a hurry to do that again but now a few hours have passed by, I’m planning a fresh route for the next one 🤣 not for a week or so though.
I’d forgotten about a badge so thanks for the nudge - I love a badge (such a child) 😉
Many congratulations!! 🎉🎊🥳👏👏👏 Your first 10k stays with you forever, enjoy that wonderful feeling 😃 I love that change in mindset, 'what if I can' makes all the difference! 💪🏃♀️
Thanks Dijep - the distance might grow on me once I have more under my belt. I can only do it when I have 90 mins or so to play with so perhaps once a month ?
Got a nice Friday- Sunday planned seeing old friends so definitely going to treat myself with a cheeky red wine or two 🍷
Well done indeed. That's a big achievement. A great distance to have 'under your belt as so many charity / run runs are either 5 or 10 k so you will have plenty of outings to choose from. Enjoy those treats.
Thank you - still wallowing glory and yes - a bit achy going downstairs but OK going up ? I’ve applied for my badge so should be able to show off soon 😉
