Graduation Celebration

[Rigsby21]

Did my third thirty minute run of the week this morning, second time I've cracked 5K, and a new PB to boot. Who was that decrepit old geezer who wheezed his way through week one? Can't have been me, can it? Will celebrate by going to Greek island for two weeks, and running barefoot on beach...

Well done and what a great way to celebrate!

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Windswept1]

Thanks. I'm looking forward to some early morning swimming at the end of the run.

[misswobble Graduate]

Well done! Congratulations and what a way to celebrate! Fabulous!

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to misswobble]

Thanks. I'll try and post from poolside or tavern, once I've done a run out there.

[Bizzybeeeee Graduate]

Congratulations!! What a way to celebrate. Enjoy running on the beach!! Im sure it will be fab!!

I cannot wait to graduate!

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Bizzybeeeee]

Thanks. Where are you in the programme at the moment?

[Bizzybeeeee Graduate in reply to Rigsby21]

I'm about to do week 5 run 2 tonight - so i know i'm a few weeks off yet, but i seem to have got the running bug!

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Bizzybeeeee]

Ah, week 5 - the first continuous run coming up. Once you've done that you'll be flying. Week 5 Run 3 was when I knew I could do the whole thing - it was hard, but it was wonderful to know I had moved on from shambling along for a couple of minutes at a time to a real uninterrupted run. Hope it all goes well for you.

Thanks loubee. Great feeling for a never-very-athletic old duffer like me.

[no-excuse Graduate]

Fantastic, well done! Enjoy your beach runs x

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to no-excuse]

Thanks for the congrats. Really looking forward to new routes (and falling into the sea afterwards).

[MrsSparkle Graduate]

Brilliant! What a way to celebrate, enjoy the glow!

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to MrsSparkle]

thanks. It feels really good, I must admit.

30 minutes AND 5K ! That IS a result ! Very well done and many congratulations. Enjoy your beach running.

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks. I must admit to being a tiny bit astonished at how well the whole programme has gone, and how much I have enjoyed it. thought I would have to repeat weeks etc., but no, bang on schedule. the only one who is not pleased is my dog - she prefers a much slower pace!

[Vixchile Graduate]

Congratulations and sounds the perfect ways to celebrate. Well done

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Vixchile]

Thanks very much.

[Ullyrunner Graduate]

Congratulations - hope you enjoy your beach running.

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Ullyrunner]

Thanks Ullyrunner - I'm a bit gobsmacked that I've actually completed the programme, but it's been great (if a bit painful at times!) and I love running now. Beach here I come...

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Methinks you're not a "decrepit old geezer" if you can run 5k and in 30 minutes! Really well done. Enjoy that holiday and running along the beach. Bliss.

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Less decrepit than when I started C25K anyway!

[Lavender1962 Graduate]

Congratulations! A double whammy - 5k PB and graduation. What better a place to celebrate than Greece.

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to Lavender1962]

Thanks very much. Can't wait to do an early morning run by the sea.

[AmberC Graduate]

Congratulations, you must rightly feel so proud of yourself. Have a great holiday.

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to AmberC]

Thanks so much. It is a good feeling, can't deny it. Been smiling all day.

[AncientMum Graduate]

Congratulations. Have a wonderful holiday

[Rigsby21 Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thanks so much. Really looking forward to running by the sea, as well as more traditional holiday pursuits.
