Hooray, Sparky's nearly graduated! We'll be lined up at the finishing line cheering you on. I think it's great that you still have your enthusiasm after being so long on the IC. Look forward to your running adventures after graduation!

So glad for you, you've done so well persevering.

I can only do evening runs with this heat. I can't get out at 5am so it's more like 9pm. Does mean I'm a bit tired but it makes for an awesome sleep!

Bring on the final programme run- GO FOR IT...carefully xx

I do all my runs in the evening (10pm). I stick to well lit quiet streets. I did one run in the day when I had a gig in the evening, and didn't enjoy that so much. It certainly helps you sleep better to run late. Good luck for your graduation run. I graduated on 20th May, since then I have stuck to the three runs per week advice. I did my first Laura-free run on the Monday, with my own music, and stopped after 30 minutes. My three runs since then have all been just over 5k each and I'm proud of myself that I have kept it up since graduation and can now work on improving my time and distance as I feel like it. I've now lost 2 stone since starting C25K - the equivalent of 28 guineapigs, apparently, which is an amusing thought. The idea of shoving 28 guineapigs into my running top and leggings before setting off is terrifying. No wonder I was struggling on week 1.

Ooft the running gremlins have strange powers I never knew of.. they have cast a head cold over me now..

I'm just putting hubby and boys tea on table before setting out swimming..relax and stretch everything preparing for tomorrow's run.. .. now nose dripping.. sneezing.. Will bugger up my breathing in swimming..

Two quick tangerines for added vitamin c. I will not succumb to their evil ploys!!!

Oh no sparky! Get an early night and see how you feel in the morning. If you don't feel well then it's better to postpone it. You'll want to enjoy and relish this one. Fingers crossed. 🙏

I think it is just a bit of "stage fright"; if the cold allows you to swim, you can run too.

Just think of it as "a run" instead of "the graduation run" and those gremlins will suddenly lose their teeth.

Go, road-runner! Beep-beep!
