Battle is won!

C25K completed. I wore my elf ears and boy did they make me fast! 28 minutes .... but.....it 'wasn't a precisely measured course'

Got a goody bag after with a drinks bottle, a beer (!), a pasty, a small hand towel and some juice. All round very pleased with myself.

(The harp stayed at home, but I played it in spirit)

Fish and chips to celebrate

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Well done Corporal I_will. Excellent work! Please accept this promotion to Second Lieutenant in honour of your hard work and moral encouragement to all. The harp deserves a special mention. You can manage the 5k without it. I need it just to reach 30mins. Fabulous! Really pleased for you!

[I_will Graduate in reply to dozzer19]

Thank you very much sir. Now it's your turn ~ then it's party time!

[dozzer19 Graduate in reply to I_will]

[AncientMum Graduate]

Well done second lieutenant I_did- a great run a fantastic time and fish and chips too!! What next for you? More 5k, move on to 10k or professional lap harp playing?

[I_will Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thanks :-)Well, the harp playing goes without saying (!) But I think I'll reach for a 10k! Exciting!

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Congratulations! It's an amazing feeling isn't it?

So now the real running adventure begins - what next?

[I_will Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Thanks ... I might treat myself to some kit, then 10k training

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Top hole, old chum! Your frock is definitely worth the money you spent - a de Havilland is it?

[Doglets05 Graduate]

Woohoo well done you x

[I_will Graduate in reply to Doglets05]

Thank you .... you tomorrow, I'll be watching out. Good luck

[Doglets05 Graduate in reply to I_will]

I did it last night... I decided to forego training and just do it... :))))

[I_will Graduate in reply to Doglets05]

Hey!! Congratulations. Your graduation badge is waiting for you. How did it go?

[Doglets05 Graduate in reply to I_will]

Hi Yes all good... ran in a nearby town to have a change of scenery.. right calf a little tight this morning but nothing a couple of rest days wont fix I am sure... Certainly no gifts and flags awaiting at the end of my run!!! :)))) yours was certainly a celebration... Well done again...

[I_will Graduate in reply to Doglets05]

What's next for you do you think?

[Doglets05 Graduate in reply to I_will]

I've got R4L on 6th July but really don't know ATM... what about you? x cant decide whether to try to improve the 5k for a while or try for further...

[I_will Graduate in reply to Doglets05]

R4L is a good thing to have to work towards. I might try the speed stamina podcasts with Laura but I think overall I'm going to aim for 10k next.

[Hidden]

What a way to graduate, but we NEED pics of the elf ears!!

[I_will Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I do have photographic evidence but being a bit of a computer noob, not sure how to attach! ^..^

[dozzer19 Graduate]

Georgio Armani - very stylish!
