Sharing my special day - W9R3 done.....Yippee

Its seems like loads of people have graduated today - I think a slap on the back is well deserved for all of us! I honestly can't believe I've got there - it has taken me an extra week but I really feel fantastic about my achievement. I went out this morning in the wind and rain in the air but I tried my hardest. I managed 4.57KM which I am really proud off - I'm sure if I carry on with the 30 minutes I'll get to 5KM. I would recommend this programme to anyone. I hadn't run since school, over 20 years. I'm not sure that I have lost any weight or inches but my head space is so much clearer and the endorphin rush makes me smile every time. Its hard to explain how I feel but I'm sure that you all know what I mean...my hubby came home from work with a rosette 'Couch to almost 5K'....I'm wearing it with pride!

Yeah...its really odd when it flat calm.....it does make me laugh when you think 'this is alright' then when you turn around you realise you're running back into a gale!!!!

Oh I'm sure you will. Just keep setting new exciting goals for yourself. Or just enjoy the satisfaction of running regularly.
