W9R3 - Two graduations in one week!

[rr76]

I finally made it through W9R3 this morning - yay! Am pretty chuffed to be honest.

It's actually my second graduation this week - I graduated and got my masters degree last Friday. I'm actually not sure which one I'm more proud of - the one that took me 3 years on top of my job (which I knew I'd get eventually), or the one that took me 9 weeks (which I never imagined I'd be able to do in a million years)!

It's been a bit of a funny time to be honest, but enjoyable. I've always shied away from exercise and am not a naturally sporty person. Yes I'm still hugely slow and a sweaty red faced lump at the end of a run - I'm glad there are no mirrors so I can't see what I look like! I don't think I've lost any weight, and bits of me still wobble in the same way as before. But my energy levels have increased and my mood is so much better than before. And my heart is healthier, which is the main thing.

I've found this forum invaluable for its help and advice - there are times when you've really kept me going, so thank you!

Yes!! Congratulations on you (double) graduation ;o) Two great achievements but I would have to say that the c25k is the biggest of the two ;o) You should be feeling chuffed with yourself, I know I did and, if I'm honest, still do ;o) Onwards and upwards.

[rr76 Graduate in reply to paul2014]

Thank you Paul - I'm not surprised you're still feeling chuffed with yourself - you get speedier with every run! I can only see a 30 minute 5K in my dreams!

[paul2014 Graduate in reply to rr76]

I'm sure, if it's what you want to achieve, that you will get there

[frannyfran Graduate]

Well done, and what a timing!

Enjoy your double celebration...

Happy running

[rr76 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thank you Ancient Mum - it's been an eventful week. Enjoying seeing the graduate badge next to my name, which I can't quite believe just yet.

[pinkangel16 Graduate]

Either one is impressive, to get these two is amazing! Well done.

Hopefully now you will get a job (if you don't have 1 already) in something you enjoy and be amd keep fit and healthy too - that's got to be a win win situation.

Congratulations
