Graduated .... Yippee

[loubou]

I can't believe it!! I've finished the programme I struggled to run 1 min but have managed to 'run' 35!! I look like I'm going to have a stroke or heart attack right from the start. I'm annoyed that I haven't managed to actually do 5km but have to keep reminding myself I have achieved a fab goal. I remember feeling a real panic about the 5 min run.

Thank you Laura you've helped me achieve more than I ever thought possible, & I've already downloaded the 5km+ to keep going. Got the Windsor race for life on Sunday so fingers crossed I can go the extra distance

Congratulations!! This is fantastic. I was just reflecting yesterday on the panic I felt at the step up from running 1 to 3 minutes and look at us go now!

Good luck with the race and do let us know how you're doing post-graduation

Great news ! Very good luck for your run on Sunday.

Well done and good luck for Sunday. Having other runners around you will push you I'm sure - you got this! Just mind you don't take off too quick at the start with the sub-20 minute lot...

Congrats thats amazing! Don't worry about not getting to the actal 5k yet what you achieved is a massive goal in itself. I really hope I will be able to do 35 minutes of running at the end of this too. Good luck in the Windsdor race for life.

Thanks everyone

It's fab getting positive responses to keep you motivated. After reading a few this morning I set off determined to do the 5km & did it in 37 mins. I'll definitely keep on reading the blogs & joining in.

I still take around 37 minutes to run 5k but I'm thrilled I'm out there running at all!

Way to go loubou!! Its amazing when you think back isn't it? - everytime those gremlins appear I kick their butts by thinking back to my first 5 min run when I thought I was going to either cry or die, and death seemed the easier option lol I am doing a mixture of running to my own tracks and the c25k+ podcasts as I realised that I need the odd push from Laura to remind me that I am capable of more. Good luck with the race for life. Hope all goes well : )
