I'm ecstatic! I feel fabulous. A great run. A great programme.
My husband was waiting outside our house, in the lane, with a laurel wreath that he'd just made (see photo) and his version of a GRADUATION medal, which he'd also made.
So that was a lovely surprise as I gracefully ( ) glided into view.
I can't rate the couch 25k podcasts highly enough, nor the fantastic support on this forum.
I feel so alive. And my legs look pretty fab too!!

Thank you. I feel over the moon to be honest. When I started, 9 weeks ago, I didn't realise how important it would all become to me. It's a great feeling.
Thank you. It's just the start isn't it. I would never have guessed that I would actually want to go out running for pleasure. Now I can't get enough of it! X
Thank you. I was so excited when I went to bed thinking about the graduation run, it took me ages to get to sleep. I felt like a teenager again. I was up at 7.30 - on a Sunday!! to go running!! Me!! Amazing.
Thank you. It's been making me smile all day as I can imagine the Blue Peter scene in our kitchen with laurel leaves everywhere, card, pens, ribbon etc
Kitty! Get out that door with a smile on your face! That's an order. I am just about to go out and I am smiling like a nutter cos Roop graduated
Speaking of which .... very many congrats and back slaps Roop! You're a star. Your husband is a brick I must say. Laurel wreath!!! Crikey. He must be as pleased a you are then. Did you do a victory lap? LOL
Thanks for the back slaps Miss W. Much appreciated! The OH really pushed the boat out didn't he! Mmmmm - obviously after some Brownie points - and duly given. The only victory lap I could manage was round the kitchen table x
Thank you. The wisteria is really abundant this year. Maybe I'll post another photo. It's a pain when all the flowers drop off though as they all end up in the house. Never mind, a small price to pay for such beauty!
Thank you - and yes, I do!! I haven't felt this good for years!! X
Fantastic, well done, drum roll, orchestra! So glad you got your badge today. Well deserved. I like your victory wreath your husband made. Enjoy the rest of the day, do something nice to celebrate. Rest day tomorrow and you can plan your next running journey. Ever so many CHEERS. Best wishes.
Thank you. I keep telling him that everyone on this forum is praising his efforts. Praise where praise is due. He was even sat out in the lane on a garden chair waiting for me!
Pleased you likes the door!! (And the wreath) I guess it's "just" a typical french door (I'm in France) but it has a certain charm and suits the house!!
Congratulations that's fantastic and what an amazingly supportive husband. Just love the wreath. I was thinking of you when I did my week 9 run 1 this morning, Was thinking 'got to keep going, got to keep going Roop is going to graduate today. Can't be left too far behind.' See you inspired me! Happy running,
Ah Azores! Thank you. Only 2 more runs for you and I will be congratulating you. I'm pleased I spurred you on! What are you planning for post graduation?
Aw thanks KK. Keep going. Don't give up. It feels so brilliant to be able to run for 30 minutes without passing out. You are so capable of doing it. And you're nearly there! X
Thanks for the congratulations. Well done for starting the programme - it will be one of the best choices you've ever made! Hope so anyway. Whatever your reason for starting, you have got 9 great weeks lying ahead of you which will change your life. Best of luck
