Just popped in to tell you that I completed 5k this morning in under 45 mins which was the target. Unfortunately I am also booked to climb onto the roof of exeter cathedral in a few minutes so feeling a bit sorry for my poor legs. That's week9 run 3 done, so onwards and upwards. Literally.

That's a great way to graduate! Well done Roseberry- I've been a bit nervous about running one so went along to my first one in Northampton today to help as a Marshall. No longer nervous!

So massive congratulations for completing c25k, AND running 5k to achieve your first timed PB never mind hiking up a cathedral !

Well done you! What a way to graduate, brilliant. Hope the roof climb went ok. Just think how much C25K will have helped you to cope with it too.

Have a lovely restful evening. :)

You'll sleep well tonight ! What an amazing day....Congratulations.

Thank you to everyone who replied, we have been staying away so now we are home this is the first reliable connection to get back in touch with. The cathedral roof was amazing we walked along inside the roof above the gothic arches and below the actual roof, then went into the ringing room, the clock room while the clock struck 12 and then right up to the top of the tower and the we climbed up to the platform just below the flagpole. We did not shin up the flagpole.

Anyway, the quads are objecting a bit but it is just DOMS and I did the speed podcast this morning. Overall very pleased to see 'graduate' next to my name and to have done my first parkrun in under 45minutes. This is an acceptable time for me because, as my daughter would say to me, 'You are well old and well fat (no offence).' I don't know where she gets it from, honestly.

Anway, thanks again everyone!
