Graduation day complete.!! After my last bizzo run i finally completed week 9 run 3. 2.45 miles. I will never be an Usain Bolt but i have finally gone from running like a cabbage in week 1 to running non stop for 1/2 an hour. Even if i am still beet red!! Celebratory rogan josh, popadoms and chutneys now on their way.
Thank you to everyone for their advice and encouragement. This really is an inspiring group, whatever our personal achievements are. X
Hey MB ! You did it , Many congratulations to you on a fantastic achievement ! 
Lovely photo with the new Garmin too !
Enjoy your celebration dinner, you have done brilliantly, oh and don't forget to ask for your badge . Fab stuff ! xxx
Congratulations MB! Hope you are feeling very proud of yourself! Now the real running adventures start...
Well done you. Enjoy that curry. Go get your badge and let the fun begin.
In a short time you will be doing 10k if you keep a structured target.
Go get em MB
Well done!!!
Well done. I've got this watch too! Boosted the Tesco clubcard vouchers and treated myself!
Oh. Look at you and your shiny badge beside your name. Brilliant, well done & enjoy your well deserved dinner x
Thank you all. The curry was delish x
Great news ! You got there...So what are you aiming for now running wise ? You can't stop now you know, what with doing so well and all....
At present just to carry on with the 30 minute runs. Possibly to improve my time. Then to extend distances I reckon?????
What does everyone else do??? X
Way to go! Congratulations on completing the program. I think you can work on whatever you enjoy now - speed, distance, hills - anything!
Think the speed thing is next x
Cheers EJ x
Yaaaaaaay! Congratulations MB I see your lovely 'graduate' badge has been polished and installed
Very envious of lovely pink runny-helper. Doesn't it feel being able to trot on for 30 mins. Yippee Hoorah!
Ha like the badge!! I feel one of the gang now and not so much a new recruit!!! Lol ace site tho to start your training. Great folk on here x
Many congratulations to you on a fantastic achievement. You must be very proud.
Thank you. Feels goooood 
Congratulations! ! Love the picture. Good way to celebrate too. You must feel very proud its such a big achievement. 1 more run to go for me.
Well done x
Well done and Congratulations Can't think of a better way to celebrate than with a tasty curry as well! Enjoy your running
Cheers x
Oh wow!
Well done you!
Many congratulations - enjoy your curry
Brilliant one! Well done MB , can't wait to one day be saying the same, it's hard work and so much dedication needed to get there!
How did I miss this? WELL DONE MB! You kicked it's butt!
You look rightly pleased with yourself and remarkably cool... I bet that curry tasted like the BEST curry ever and that you're still smiling today...
Happy post-graduation running... you rock!
Cheers aussiegtc!
First run post grad tomorrow afternoon. Fit swimming in yesterday so chillin today. Off 1/2 day tomorrow as my little one starts big school ! So will have a quick run before i collect her Lots to smile about
Snap, same as Aussie: how the hell did I miss this?!
BRILLIANT, MB! Congratulations, it's a fantastic achievement and honestly, this is where the fun really, really starts now! That's a great photo too and just highlights how much the running bug has taken hold of you! 
Well done; you can do anything you like now - continue with the 30 minute runs for a while, work up to 10K, do speed sessions, hill sessions, stair sessions, anything you fancy, sign up to races - the choices are limitless!
Stair sessions??!!
Think i will settle for improving my times over 30 minutes. I have also lost 1/2 a stone so that's a brucie bonus.
I had an acceptance e mail from the ariport run. They will let me know in a few weeks if i have got in Fingers crossed
Sorry MancBird - seems like I'm well late to your party, but many congratulations for graduating.
Awesome and well done!
