Wowwwww what a feeling ...... beautiful morning for our graduation run . Actually can't believe we did it ... my gorgeous husband and I set off on a known 5k route .... Mr Smooth and his encouraging tones kept us going ... 5 mins and 10 mins came and went ... past the parkland , past the church and onto a beautiful fen road with stunning scenery , birds and sheep to keep us company ... 15 mins and still feeling good ... pace slow but steady ( great advice Oldfloss ) ..... not saying easy but then the 1 min to go from Mr S ...... couldn't believe we were about to complete this awesome program ....... well as we were feeling ok we decided to keep running until reached the 5k mark to see if we could do it ........ WELL we did - what a feeling 40 mins to run 5k .... not sure how long until we will get 5k in 30 mins but that's the next challenge for us ... as hubby was a tiny bit in front of me at the end he stood with arms open as I reached the finish and the biggest bear hug as a reward .
Thanks for everyone's support .. this running family and this program are incredible ... and Mr Smooth - well it's been a pleasure and I will keep tuning in to you for a while . Special Thankyou to the huge support from some individuals on here ... you know who you are ... also the mentors and fellow runners who ha e commented along this emotional journey
Celebratory fizz for us tonight with huge smiles on our faces 😍😍😍😍😍😍🎉🎉🎉🎉🥂🥂🥂🥂

Thanks yes .. mr WBF was one run behind me so I did an extra 9/2 on Friday which didn't go well as new run and lots of challenges ... so pleased it didn't put me off today . 🥂🥂🥂
Yeeeeehaaaaaa!!!! Woo hoo!!! I am sooooo happy for you!! Brilliantly done & a big bear hug from Mr WBF...well, there’s a big virtual bear hug coming your way from me too!!!! I wasn’t going to have a tipple tonight but it would be rude not to join in the celebrations...it’s been lovely running along with you & sharing your journey...now onto the next chapter & who knows, we might get to really share a run one day xxxx 🏃🏼♀️🏃🏼♀️😘😘😘 right, better jump down from this podium...I’ve been keeping it warm for you all week !!! Xxx
Aaaawwwwww Thankyou darling ---- the virtual bear hug back at you . Sure we will continue on together on our improvement journey ... going to rpt wk 9 a few times but keep going to the 5 k to see if times get better and it feels slightly easier .
Loved running along with you too and yes as discussed we may get to do a run one day in Lincoln 🏃♀️🏃♀️
Thanks for keeping the podium warm hugely appreciated -- few other were to so must have been a bit crowded ha ha ha 🏆🏆🏆.
Thanks -- it was great but didn't get to do all runs together due to work commitments . Fizz delicious -- will save some for you when you get there 🥂🏃♀️
Congratulations! I finished mine today so know how you feel.
I pushed through to 5km as well this week and 30min is now the goal as you say. I was also about the same (42m45s) so it’s a great target to now have.
Feet up tonight and back on it next week. Like you I will also be using MJ’s soothing tones for a few weeks until I am comfortable ‘just heading out there’.
Aaawwww thanks ... fireworks -- I love fireworks 💥💥
Fantastic you completed too and carried on ... we will keep supporting each other through the improving time stage .. Feet well and truly up after lovely bath ... will pass on your congrates to Mr WBF too . He's not good at posting on forums ha ha ha
Yessss!! I was looking out for this post this week! Great job to you & the hubby, now get up here on the podium & get yourself that well deserved graduation badge 😀
Yehhhh Thankyou Charlottefc87 - I joined you on the podium and applied for my shiny badge ... now the next journey begins 😀😀 we will keep supporting each other on here
Absolutely, I would be lost without my running family!
Brilliantly done fellow Smoothies, it is so great to see another graduation. But you appear to have forgotten your graduation bling see the pinned posts to the right. You did all that work, now get to enjoy the podium view and put your sunglasses on to protect your eyes from the glint of a graduation medal next to your name
Aaawwww Thankyou Jancanrun and fellow smoothie ... you have been incredible support and your advise second to none -- especially re running abroad ... love your posts and blog . Very inspirational .
Will keep visiting here daily .... start of my running journey now and love the incredible support on this running family forum . Hope to help a few newbies too along the way .
Cheers for pointer re graduation medal 🏅applied for now x 🏆🏃♀️🥂❤️
We found out half way through the program we are going to become grandparents for the first time next April ..... we were already in the zone but wow what a reason we have now to keep moving forward with this journey .
Amazing news I’m so looking forward to that chapter...gonna be a few years yet mind, my daughter gets married next year so hopefully within the next 4!! Enjoy your celebrations 😊😊
Many congratulations to you both, how lovely to be able to share the journey together. Well done for getting to 5k - brilliant Oh, and of course exciting news about being grandparents.
thanks skyesue16 - been an emotional journey (lots of happy tears) but soo soo happy to have achieved today .... staying around as still need and love this running family .
