There must be something in the water...

[hannah141]

Last night, I went for my penultimate run. I was feeling positive and open to the idea of running a bit further than normal, or not, depending on how I was feeling. By about 3k I felt comfortable, then 4k came and went. Clock watched a bit for the last kilometre but I DID 5k! I'm absolutely thrilled! I was on cloud nine last night feeling so good! Anyone who knows me would agree when I say that I don't stick at things - it's just how it usually goes. Finding myself still running 4 weeks in was a miracle let alone reaching my final goals! I got a little tear in my eye (it's not just you sparky66 !) when I realised that the whole build up of weeks, highs and lows was for this! I couldn't even finish my warm up walk before ringing my mum!

There seems to be a bit of a run (sorry) on graduations and successful runs - it's so up-lifting. It's so great to see so many people that have tried so hard at something and it all comes good. Well done everyone!

Glad to hear you have done it! I have gone a little off track lately so this has encouraged me to keep on with it.

[hannah141 Graduate in reply to LisaRose74]

Yay! I often read posts that give me a little uplift - it's nice to know mine can have an effect too! I have been on and off track at various points but I'm proof you can always get back on it! Enjoy your next run

"There is something in the water" I love that song. Congratulation on your 5K. Now spread the word.....

[hannah141 Graduate in reply to nhs2015]

I've been spreading the word since I started! My friends are sick of me wittering on!

[jt24 Graduate]

That first run to 5k is an awesome feeling and it's great that you had the confidence to do it whilst still in the programme.

Good luck for your grad-run
