Holy Moly, I've only gone and graduated

[Dunnja]

OMG, I just can't quite believe it.

What a graduation run, thunder, a little bit of lightening and just the right amount of rain.

I am frightened of thunder, don't laugh, so I think that says so much about what this programme means to me.

To think that 9 weeks ago I couldn't run for a minute and now I can run 5k, OK , not in 30 mins but not miles away.

This really has had a big effect on me and I finally feel I have found myself!!

Thank you to all on here for all your words of encouragement and support. It's a great little family.

Well enough of the soppy stuff, I'm off to celebrate with a yoghurt and a lemon water!!! Party Animal that's me.🎈🎉

Loves to you all

Julesxxx

Congratulations! 🎊🎉🎊

Thank you, I can't LOL. I've given up chocolate for a year for charity!! God I sound boring, not really I'm an animal at weekends 😃

[jamsammich Graduate in reply to Dunnja]

Extra blueberries for you!

I don't eat chocolate myself, my first love is pies 😃.

I'm sure you're a panther on Saturdays lol😉

Hey Jules ! Well done you !! I know what you mean- I never understood the positive power of this running malarkey until I started the C25K and now I wouldn't be without it. All the best Hun - Keep running!

[Dunnja Graduate in reply to LouShooz]

Thank you Lou. Feeling like I can conquer the world right now. Normal service will resume shortly I'm sure xxx

[LouShooz Graduate in reply to Dunnja]

No probs - You go conquering and enjoy the feeling - its FAB! Onwards and upwards and just enjoy it Hunni. Take care and .....keep running xxx

[Dunnja Graduate]

Thank you xx

[gary_bart]

Well done. It's a bit naughty running around and presenting yourself as a target for the lightning, but sometimes one just has to do something like that, hey?

[Dunnja Graduate in reply to gary_bart]

I know Gary but it had to be done. It wasn't too bad. I wouldn't have gone if it was really bad x

[gary_bart in reply to Dunnja]

I know. There really are times where you just have to do things like that. I may be near my retirement date, but I'm a runner, remember. I get it. ... but it is a bit naughty, all the same ....

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Fantastic achievement! Well done! Sounds like the weather put on quite a dramatic show for you too...do it in style!!

[Dunnja Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

"Thunderbolt and lightening , very , very frightening ! "

There's a bit of Queen for you, I couldn't resist it , sorry xxx

[Dunnja Graduate in reply to poppypug]

Love that song Poppypug.

It's in my head now. Oh the poor people at work will have to listen to that all morn now.

Xx

[Lizzielooly]

So pleased for you Jules, hold onto this feeling, this is you now... a runner! And what an awesome morning you must be having knowing all that you've conquered in 9 short weeks!

"What a feeling... Dancing on the ceiling" 🎶 xx

[JoolieB1 Graduate]

Wow, in awe of ur achievement (moving to week 5 on Monday)! Great that you shared it with us, gives me hope for my own battles with trying to run. I think speed is something that can be worked on later. Did you see there is a C25k+ programme too, might help with progression (hope I get there too)!!

[goonkeepgoing Graduate]

Congratulations. Well done. Keep running 😊😊😊

[Dunnja Graduate]

Thank you all. First park run tomorrow and then I think training for 10k xxx

[Idolitorus Graduate]
