W9 R3, I've only gone and done it 😁😁

[Burrows79]

I enjoyed that run more than any other, I managed to run the whole 30 minutes with an average pace of 6.39 minutes per km and a huge smile on my face the whole way round (well, from 10 minutes in when the gremlins disappeared and I knew it was mine) people around here must think I'm nuts (I think I agree) but I don't care because I completed C25K!

Now I'm off for a shower and a well earned beer, but before I go, I have to thank everyone on here for their support, I've had a bump or two on this journey but you've all kept me going, so thank you.

This is not goodbye, nor is it the end, this is merely the beginning of my journey 😁

Well done ! 👍 that's a great pace too! I look forward to reading more of your posts as your journey begins! I'm hoping to do week 9 next week, maybe a park run for graduation..

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you.

I've loved W9, it's been great and I actually felt like a runner for the 1st time.

I've not tried a park run yet, but I may give my local one a go next Saturday.

Good luck for W9, you'll smash it

Ah well done I'm sure it's a great feeling I'm going tomorrow to repeat W9R1 tomorrow as I put my back on Tuesday which has set me back and I should've been on my last run tomorrow but il get there well done 👍👍

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Aliarm]

You will get there, be sure to take it easy if you've put your back out though, you don't want to aggravate it.

Thank you, and good luck for tomorrow

Yaay congratulations 🎉

Well done buddy👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 I've followed your progress the whole way next to me. We are running very similar pace too. I agree, some of the drivers passing me today definitely thought I'd lost it. Near the end, after my podcast failed I had some random downloaded bit of Radio 2 on so at mercy of the track selection. The Troggs, Wild Thing came on. Running, grinning, crooning and generally behaving rediculously. Had it not been before 8 am they may have thought I was drunk!!

Thanks for being there for me. Let's move forward together, like you say, this is the beginning and not the end😀😀😀🇨🇦

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to Bonkersbrit]

Thank you, I don't know about you but I'm amazed that I finished, and this is definitely not the end.

I'm sure our posts can only help to spur each other on as we continue this journey.

Thanks pal

I've just been relaxing enjoying a couple of glasses of wine whilst watching Radiohead at Glastonbury. Not a beer, but a couple of glasses of wine to celebrate your success. OOOppppsss, I have a Parkrun tomorrow, time to go to bed.

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to damienair]

Enjoy your parkrun, and let us know how you got on.

I'm considering doing my local parkrunnext week but I enjoy the solitude from running solo so I'm not sure if it's for me. But I guess I've got to try to know for sure

[SueKen Graduate]

Congratulations Graduate! Cracking pace too! 😊

[Burrows79 Graduate in reply to SueKen]

Thanks

[Englishmum Graduate]

Absolutely brilliant! I'm only on week 1 and can't even imagine getting to this stage. Hope you enjoyed that well deserved beer.

Well done! You've got the title of 'graduate' after your name now 😄
