Wk9r1 COMPLETE. ! Im buzzing

[Fitfor60]

It Did last run of programme this morning and wow do I feel good. Beautiful sunrise, frost on the grass and trees appearing through th e mist but NO rain yea! (it has never rained on any of my runs -- maybe that has to be short term goal to run in rain) First 10 mins plodding as usual, 2nd 10 ok plodding and last 10 mins felt like I was floating--- fantastic. I have accepted that is how my runs go and do you know what I dont mind anymore. My goal when I started was to be able to run 1 mile charity race next May with my 3yr old grandson who has leukemia and I KNOW I will be able to do it Yea!!!!!! And double yea!! On the same day there is also a 5 mile race which I had signed up for and then found out it said miles and not k so been worried I wouldnt manage extra distance but after this morning I say bring it on. All I need to do is carry on training and I will do it. C25k has given me such confidence in what I can achieve with some work ( some HARD work )but the support you have all given me has kept me going So big hugs and kisses to you all. Thank you. thank you thank you

Well done, Fitfor60! That's a real achievement and puts my feeble efforts at 54 to shame! I bow down to your superiority!!

All the best for your future running and also to your lovely grandson!He must be very proud!

[Fitfor60 Graduate]

Thank you Your efforts weren't feeble You should be proud you are a graduate I think all of us have problems and obsticles to our running no matter what our age I know there was no way I was in right place to do c25k when I was 54! My grandson is amazing and what he is going through with his treatment makes any problems I have seem trivial Good luck with your running

Well done fitfor60 on graduating and you will be fine come May next year - you have done the hard part which is C25K in the autumn, I did it late spring summer when I think it was just so much easier. Keep doing your ParkRun as well!!

[Fitfor60 Graduate]

Thanks for that c4ts
