Oh my goodness I actually did it. According to map my run I did 5.05k in 36.03 but there was a 2 minute walk in there which I did after Laura told me I'd done my 30 minutes. should have been my 5 min cool down but I decided to run some more, so I did and that put me just over the top of 5k. very pleased with myself. The support from all you guys is amazing. You picked me up and pushed me on when I really needed it. So thank you all.
To anyone who is starting out, just keep going you will get there. And if you are struggling come here and blog you wil get the best advice around from people who have been there done that and now the badge to prove it.
Happy jogging everyone. X

Congratulations!!! was waiting for your blog to say you had graduated and extra running too well done you!!! Hope to be joining you soon only one run to do!!! Happy Running!!
If my thighs have stopped aching enough in the morning otherwise Monday after work. They do seem to be easing but yesterdays run really did take it out of them but I was a bit silly speeded up to try to get the 5k done too, Actually had to slow down half way and was slower than the run before lol so my own fault!
I'm pretty pleased with myself. Thank you so much because you really have been my cheerleader. It's taken me a bit longer the than 9 weeks but I'm here.
Thank you Bilby. Next is 5k+. I want to build my speed and stamina. I will be in Lanzrote for two weeks and I fully intend to continue with my jogging and as soon as I can hit the 5k in 30 minutes or less I will sign up for the race for life.
Thank you Poppy. I really don't think I could have completed this programme without all you guys helping me along. It certainly does help when you have people in your corner.
Like others on here been waiting to hear your great news so pleased for you and great your carrying on with 5k+ and good distance too hope I can run that far by week 9 so enjoy your hoilday and I will look forward to your 5k+ blogs about how well your doing
Thank you Kate. I'm still kinda finding it hard to believe that I have actually come to the end. I think at the beginning I wasn't 100% convinced I would reach the end, but here I am.
Week 8 was ill over Easter and then struggled with week 7 so bit behind and I only run twice a week as little kids to look after ! But will def stick with to the end looking forward to getting my badge as like you thought I would never run 30 mins and here I am at 25 already and so enjoy my me time out running in the fresh air even if my
Brilliant news Caz !!! Great, fantastic, awesome, stupendous!!!! Sorry I'm only just congratulating you now - worked a long day yesterday and went straight out afterwards
So thrilled for you ... So are you planning to do 5k races now? Sooooo impressed with your time and distance combination. I'm going to try and crack a regular 5k now but am still slow ... but I do quite fancy the ParkRun idea by about June or July. Go us grads, eh? Linda
Thank you Linda. I'm just going to follow up with the 5k+ for the time being. I'll see how I go with that and who know what I might sign up for after my holiday.
Hiya again, I put in for my badge before doing my grad blog at Friday lunchtime... Have since messaged the second 2 Admin person on my list and sent a general message to Admin. Still no badges for us
Try the FEEDBACK button (guaranteed you'll get it tomorrow. Monday.) Admin have been a bit slow recently... though Stephen, the NHS fitness editor is usually quite prompt (probably busy)
Thank you. My OH bought me 4 dozen white roses and a nots saying how proud he is of me. He left them on my chair so when I got up the next morning after my run they were there waiting for me.
