Yay I have now completed c25k and I am buzzing like a bee(BLAB...M_Y) however a few memos to self...

1) Don't go out with a large blister on side of right big toe(left would not do either) as it becomes a strange colour and expands in size...oh and did I mention PAINFUL😱

2)don't do a new route (end of)

3) if you must do a new route make sure you know where you are going( nuff said)

4) On said new route ensure that the weather conditions have n't made a mile(yes a mile) stretch of it is a mud wrestler's dream.

5)And finally....it would be good to know how far it is...

Now this might all sound like common sense BUT dear forumites am I to blame for believing my husband??? I wanted week 9 run 3 to be memorable and so I asked the OH who is a runner and the rest is history as they say.

Finally I cannot say how much help and support I get from you all.But most of all you gave me belief in myself....so thank you...seems inadequate but it is heartfelt...sorry it's a long post...but I have post envy for Miles_Yonder lol!!!

Fantastic Pot, very very well done indeed. You're a worthy graduate. :) :) Enjoy glorying in your achievement ( once you've cleaned up your shoes of course) You could always work out your distance using mapometer if you want to know how far you ran.
