My first 5k! :)))

9 days after graduating, I set off today in the pouring rain and completed my first ever 5k - in 34 minutes. I am SO thrilled. To think that when I started this programme I was struggling to run non stop for 2 minutes! Feeling great! Thank you C25k and thanks to everyone here for your encouragement.

Just keep on doing what you're doing and you'll get there. You're here, so you're already on the way! :)

Congratulations. That's an inspiration to us still down at the 3 minute level. Well done!

My first 5k was tough! Really tough!

I haven't even finished the C25k and I did it. I was last in the group, but I got around the course. I have since done two more. My last one was 37 minutes. I have never felt so fantastic.

I really know how you feel. Well done.
