I made it! woooop, wooop wooop!
I completed the Park Run this morning for the first time (I registered over a year ago). It was quite tough because I got carried away with the occasion and being in amongst other runners. I set off too fast, which I am prone to doing. But once I found my rhythm I was ok, I even overtook people, imagine that . I still got lapped by the speedy runners mind!
And the icing on the cake........
I finished in under 30 minutes! I've not had my official time yet but I reckon it was around 29:30 ish, a good lump of a minute faster than Thursday.
I feel really chuffed this morning, I have run 5k three times in one week after only 9 weeks training. It wasn't that long ago I was in a real mess health wise. Absolutely amazing.
I am going to wear my new 'Graduation' shirt with pride today!
Thanks everyone for your support, encouragement and generally being nice people.
Yay!

Kev YOU DID IT`!! Sub 30 too. Amaze balls. We are at exactly the same stage on this C25K and it really is a fantastic program isn't it?
YAY!
Hey Dan,
It feels damn good to be joining you in the 'Graduate' lounge
.
I am well chuffed with the sub 30 time. I would have been well happy with sub 35 to be honest.
I couldn't agree more with you about the programme, it's awesome.
I was very impressed with the Park Run as well, brilliant idea and very well organised.
I just applied for my badge, I felt like a big kid so I wrote the email like one
