C25k final run week 9 ..... I’m a graduate 👨‍🎓🏁🏃‍♀️😀

[Amarigue1976]

Set out on a dry clear day at 5.45am this morning for my final run. My running legs decided to make an appearance and I had a fantastic last run even sprinted for the last 60 secs and continued for another minute after. Thank you to everyone who has supported me through this amazing journey I can’t believe I love running and am a runner 🏃‍♀️. For anyone thinking of starting it’s a no brainier just do it. I know everyone says it but if I can do it anyone can. Good luck everyone whatever stage you are on and enjoy the amazing positive change you have made to your lives. If you believe you can do anything. Happy running 🏃‍♀️ 😀🏁👨‍🎓🎉

Thank you 😀

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Very many congratulations, fellow runner.

For the next few weeks consolidate at 30 minutes or maybe gently push for 5k if you are close. The important thing is to not get carried away by your newly acquired superpowers.

Keep running, keep smiling.

[Amarigue1976 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Thank you I completed 3.4 miles this morning so think I achieved the 5k but will keep consolidating my runs and complete week 9 a few more times first. Then may venture on to a park run. Thank you for your support and wisdom through my journey 😀

[Anthie Graduate]

Fantastic graduation run it seems! Well done! And enjoy some more great running (without the graduation pressure)!!

[Amarigue1976 Graduate in reply to Anthie]

Ah thank you and thank you for your support especially at the time of my bad run 😀

[Anthie Graduate in reply to Amarigue1976]

No worries! That's what the forum is about and I really hope you'll have some more fun running. I think what's "great" about having difficult times with our bodies is that we are forced to acknowledge this body and in the end listen to it: I know my body much better after years of struggling with back pains and I've learnt a lot from it and from exercise. Anyway, welcome to the "consolidation" running club and let's enjoy the postgrad runs!

[Amarigue1976 Graduate in reply to Anthie]

Too true the body is an amazing thing. Look forward to reading your posts and continuing my graduation journey 😀
