Thanks. Going to try Stepping Stone today. Rather apt phrase as my usual route is under water thanks to provincial wide state of emergency for flood !

[poppypug Graduate]

Congratulations ! Another graduate to the ranks , dont you feel the love just a teeny bit ? xxx

[LuvinManitoba Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Thanks. I guess its been a bit like going to the dentist - not relishing the thought of it , but once your 'up and running' its ok !

[frannyfran Graduate]

[Vixchile Graduate]

Congratulations on graduating, maybe there is a little bit of love if you want to continue?

[LuvinManitoba Graduate in reply to Vixchile]

Thanks. Running is a bit like working a night shift - the thought of it is worse than the actual doing !!!

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Congratulations! You may not think you love the running, but I bet you have a great sense of achievement!

[LuvinManitoba Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

[PandaRunner Graduate]

[LuvinManitoba Graduate in reply to PandaRunner]

Thanks- I read somewhere that developing as a runner is a 7 year thing , so plenty of time yet.....

I completely get not feeling the love. It took me a long time to get it, don't get ne wrong I was focused to complete the programme but chose it (running & couch 25k) purely because it fitted in easiest I could.do once kids in bedand gave me chance to get away from stresses at home - literally you are running away for a short time and although you are back it gave. me that time to clear my head. I had a long break away from it about 3 months after I graduated (due to pregnancy sickness etc) but got back into it last summer and graduated again. I'm starting to feel I have finally caught the running bug! I enjoy the Parkrun and I.completed a fun run last weekend.with ny daughter. The marshals were great really motivational and felt part of something bigger . Usually I.run alone so it makes a big change.

[LuvinManitoba Graduate in reply to totalbeginner]

Thanks. This was my third or fourth attempt at C25K , having been previously banjaxed by work,family, weather etc so I know what you mean. I almost completed last summer but ran out of time before winter arrived so am pleased to have finally done it.Now I have 4 months to consolidate until 'snow stops play'....
