W8R1 - Now I Know I Can Complete C25K!

Just a quick update to say that I successfully completed W8R1 this afternoon.

As usual I kept it slow & steady and it was fine - but I was so glad when I realised that I wasn't going to have to do a sprint for the last minute!

Only five runs left now. I felt a bit emotional afterwards when I realised something had changed for me mentally. I now know it isn't IF I graduate, but WHEN I graduate, and that is a very powerful feeling. So happy!

Well done, I'm at the same place and can't believe I've come this far. I still find the runs quite difficult but I seem to have found a determination I didn't know I had.
