This ^^^ is the cheesy ass smug grin of the first class honours certified couch potato turned runner. This lazy bones only went and finished c25k tonight - and kept going for my first EVER non stop 5k, 39 minutes.

Now how do I find the post to ask for my shiny graduate badge on my mobile?

Thanks guys. It's hard to find the pinned posts on a mobile device. It doesn't show shortcuts. Got it now thanks.

Never in a million years did I think I would be successfully completing this, I really didn't.

Oh well done Pen. I see your Graduate Badge. Looks very swanky I must say!

Yep, you are in good company here. As couch potatoes go we were all champions at one point. Not now though, no siree Bob. Running our butts off, us lot these days.

Keep running! Gently and steadily and build up gradually. Take your time and you'll be fine. C25k+ podcasts would be your next step.

It does doesn't it. Suits me more than I anticipated :)

I've downloaded the plus podcasts - three times a week running is a given now. Anything extra will be a bonus!

Wahey! Go you! And you don't even look flustered by 39 minutes running on that photo, amazing! Great time, by the way. Happy running, Miss Runner!

I think the photo maybe isn't telling the whole story. I was bright pink and still panting. Hence only half a grin. I needed to focus my energy on not passing out :)
