Need I say any more? The wine is pored.... I can't get over the feeling that I can't believe I did it 20 whole minutes running 😁...I put it off all day.... I had no excuse not to go earlier other than the fear of not completing the run but I pulled my big girl pants up n set out the door... I still can't believe I did it.... 😁

[Feelingfab]

Completing this run is such a great feeling of achievement woo hoo! Enjoy that well deserved glass or few of wine 👏👏🍷

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Mummycav]

Number 4 then I'm in bed coz my Fitbit says I'm only getting 6 hrs sleep....that's just not enough....although my youngest asked if I'd sleep with him tonight & do you know what? He's not gonna ask that for very much longer so cabin bed here I come!!!!!

[Martin_Rose Graduate]

Hurrah, well done Julie, I never doubted you. We are so going to graduate together.

[Hidden in reply to Martin_Rose]

Hey M... thank you ... I'm actually looking forward to Sunday and hoping the lovely weather continues for a beach run.... I'm tagging behind you every step of the way to that podium 😘

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Beach run, get you. 😙

[Hidden in reply to Martin_Rose]

😂Lucky enough to live by the sea.... always a beautiful walk/Run x

[Martin_Rose Graduate in reply to Hidden]

How wonderful, and I run along the A6 near Manchester, just doesn't seem fair, haha. 😙

[Hidden in reply to Martin_Rose]

lol I usually road run too but the beach is just 5/10 min away in the car ... I should really jog there but haven't worked out the best route to take 😬

[K311y33 Graduate]

Huge well done , my fav run , enjoy the feeling! Think it comes from being so unsure that we can complete it but then running the whole 20mins , which was unthinkable just a few weeks ago. Got to love c25k!

[Hidden in reply to K311y33]

Thank you.... was just saying to the hubby that it was only a few weeks ago that 60 seconds of running was so hard... trusting the program works and I definitely wouldn't have continued without all the lovely friendly members on this forum x

[leighbev]

Fantastic well done you deserve that wine , it's a hard run but you did it .

[Hidden in reply to leighbev]

Thank you for your kind words much appreciated... x

[Reluctant_Runner74]

Amazing! I'm doing it over the weekend, glad you made it!

[Hidden in reply to Reluctant_Runner74]

Be thinking of you x stay positive x

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Me too reluctant runner....you can do it!!! X

[Nozza03 Graduate]

I was on top of the world when I did my 20 minutes last week! Well done! Absolutely brilliant! X

[Hidden in reply to Nozza03]

Thank you I actually cried... tears of joy and relief 😬

[Nozza03 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I totally understand Julie! It's such a wonderful feeling. I'm trying to diet too but am really struggling. This c25k give me control and I get as much from running as I do from losing a few pound every week. Hopefully as my running increases my weight will come down. That's my plan anyway. I'm determined to do a park run. Is that your plan too??? X

[Hidden in reply to Nozza03]

I too needed to lose weight not an awful lot 1stn 9lb I joined slimming world n changed my eating habit to a healthier diet losing 1-2 lb a week (Slow n steady is the way to go) then decided I needed to be fitter.., hence C25K my body shape has changed and I've maintained my healthy weight whilst running n eating well .... I'd like to do a park run but haven't planned one yet... my goal is to complete the program and feel fit enough to face the challenge of the run... X

[Tricky2836]

😂😂 big girl pants lol... enjoy the wine, well done x

[Hidden in reply to Tricky2836]

😂 Thank you and i shouldn't be such a baby n let the Gremlins get the better of me before I've even tried😬

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Hidden]

My gremlins were talking to me in my bathroom before I'd even got dressed but once I'd put on my running gear they soon shut up!!!!

[Coly1 Graduate]

🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽 Me too, I did it yesterday morning before work, was dreading it! 20 whole mins! But it was amazing, I felt like Forrest Gump 😜Totally trust the programme, I am 42, have never been a runner and have done zero exercise for about 4 years but the c25k has got me here, I actually found the first 5 min run back in week 2/3? worse than this! As I finished and came back onto the playing fields the sun came up over the trees and I felt like rocky when he runs to the top of the steps 😳😂 what an achievement, loving this programme and can see everyone else is too, well done guys!

[Hidden in reply to Coly1]

Yay well done you.. what a beautiful Run u had .... Run Forest Run my fav movie 😄 xxxx

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Coly1]

Brilliant!!! Such a good feeling isn't it??? I did it yesterday too..I'd never have believed it was possible!!!

[Getfitok Graduate]

Well done you! That's brilliant 😎

[Hidden in reply to Getfitok]
