A big thank you to everyone on the forum who helped and encouraged me through c25k. I am so pleased to be able to say I am just back from graduation run! I ran 3 times this week - Sunday, Tuesday and today. When the graduate cup appeared on my c25k app I burst into tears. Everyone who reaches this point says they never thought when they started this would be possible. It's true neither did I but here I am having run three lots of 30 mins in one week! The programme wasn't plain sailing and I had to repeat a couple of runs along the way but once I learned to slow right down when struggling I got the confidence to keep going during difficult runs. So now I am going to annoy all my friends by texting them my graduate cup photo and be all smug (as well as have a nice cup of tea and bacon roll). Happy running everyone xx

Congratulations and very well done to you. I hope you really enjoyed that Bacon Roll and Cup of Tea. It's a great achievement and if it was easy everyone would be doing it. Well done again.
