Well I've done it! W9 R3 and I've just completed the Norwich Race for Life 5k.
Took me 45mins of which I'm gutted to say I ran 42.5mins - so close to running the whole way but I a) really needed a wee and b) had a bit of back ache :((
But to make up for it I kicked my arse into gear and ran the final 0.5k and had a pretty cracking sprint finish!!
Can I have my badge now??

The words "gutted" and "ran 42.5 mins" should never be used in a sentence together! What an amazing achievement - well done!! Hold your head up high and show off that shiny graduate badge when you get it xxx
Thanks tmc1701 - was really proud of my run but just gutted I came so close to running the whole way but didn't. It was definitely a mind over matter thing again. I will get there though and I was just so amazed to be part of an organised run and running past all these people who'd given up and walked already. Slow and steady wins the race...
Many congratulations on both graduating from C25K and a great Run for Life. Your time is nothing to worry about! Be justifiably proud! You can now take your newly acquired life-skill to higher levels if you wish and get faster and/or run further .... That's what loads of grads do Good luck, Linda
