I have only written one post before and it was basically saying how hard I had found each week and when would I have the "yay" moment. I have just completed W9R3 and had that moment. It was the first run where I felt I could run and enjoyed it. It was very slow and nowhere near the 5k but I now know I can do it and will build on what I've done. I must say that each and every day I read all the posts(new and old) and found them a great help. There was always something that related to how I felt or what I had done and the replies gave me hope and reassurance that I could finish and feel good. Thank you all to the post writers and the responders to the posts that have helped me complete what I never thought I could do
At last, the "yay" moment: I have only written... - Couch to 5K
At last, the "yay" moment
Well done jwiz!
That's a tremendous achievement, going from being a non-runner to running for 30 minutes and this is only the start....
Now don't forget to get your Graduation Badge.
Congratulations. Go you!
I had a YAY run yesterday too after a few "bad" ones. All we have to do is keep going.
I agree - it has taken me quite a few attempts at wk9 before I actually found myself enjoying the run - have to go off now & get my medal!
Congratulations, very happy for you! well done for keeping at it!
I agree with you about wk 9 - it has taken me quite a few attempts before I actually enjoyed it - have to go now - off to claim my medal!
GO YOU!
Well done and congratulations. It's a great feeling and while you may not get that feeling every run, you will get it more, the more you run! What's next? Parkrun?
I agree - no matter what the question, someon will have the answer and because there is always someone who is at the same point as you or just past it they will no exactly what you are going through. I am now on this site more than the BBC news site.

Woohoo!
I think I replied to your first post.
My sentiments about running were summed up perfectly, by curlygurly2 I think, "when can I stop?" And then, "when can I do that again?"
