Graduated 🎉🎉

[Jomarie1979]

Yay I've graduated 😀

As planned I did the Parkrun as my graduation run and I was so proud of myself for managing to run the whole thing in 36:37.

Feel amazing right now!

After weeks of healthy eating I will be treating myself to a Chinese takeaway tonight as my reward.

A massive thank you to everyone who has encouraged me along the way. Really don't think I could have done it without you.

I will certainly be sticking around this forum to help others.

🎉🎉🎉

Very very well done! It was hot today for Parkrun too. Chinese definitely deserved (I had ice cream 🍦)

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to SueKen]

Ooh ice cream...good choice! Thank you for your support 😊

[Dal45 Graduate]

Well done

[MichaelH070862 Graduate]

Good on you I did a 10k this morning and it was quite warm I had to settle for a Choc ice when I got in and loads of water so treat yourself and have a rest and then get consolidating runs finally don't forget your grad badge

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

Thank you. I'm off to Tuscany on Wednesday for 2 weeks....will be packing my trainers 😊 10k wow! Can't imagine running 10k 😲

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to Jomarie1979]

I didn't either but times were'nt coming down and someone said that to go faster you had to go further so I tried it and it is true in the last week I have had three PB's on my 5 km runs

[damienair Graduate]

Very very well done. Great time for your first Parkrun too. That's a lovely way to do your Graduation run. I'm delighted for you. Enjoy your Chinese tonight and a glass or two of Vino.👍

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to damienair]

Thanks Damien. It was actually my 2nd Park Run. Many more to come I think. Just sat down with a glass of vino 😊

Still it will get you nice and aclimatised for running under the Tuscan Sun. Saviour the moment, enjoy your holiday and happy running🎉🎉🎉🎉

It was hot yesterday but not as hot as when I did my first Parkrun 3 weeks ago! I nearly passed out! Looking forward to running a Parkrun in the cooler months 😊

Thank you Jan 😊

[foreverendeavour]

I've not long started out on the c25k having never even run for a bus before, you have encouraged me enormously as my goal also is a local NT property park run with my friend who is an Iron Man triathlete so to be able to run alongside her will be really something for me, even though I expect my pace will be a bit tedious for her!

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to foreverendeavour]

You can definitely do it 🏃🏼‍♀️👍🏻

[Slinkymalinki Graduate]

Congratulations!! A fantastic end to the programme with a great park run time - you should be very proud! Have a lovely holiday in beautiful Tuscany & enjoy some runs there. 😊

[Jomarie1979 Graduate in reply to Slinkymalinki]

Aww thank you so much 😊
