Graduation Day ~ Yippee!

I made it, Yippee! It's been a fairly arduous journey but by 'eck I'm feeling accomplished.

W8R3 and W9R3 have been my only 2 rainy runs. Last week was ok as I dodged running Santas with my son and our destination was Morrison's for a brunch fry up!

Today my graduation run was solo and I was filled with determination to reach that graduation line. Oh and guess what, I borrowed my son's trainers!

Like all those before me, I am amazed at the success of C25K from turning me from a couch potato to someone who exercises 3 times a week.

Though I may not be achieving the 5k in distance I do manage the 30mins non-stop. I won't lie it is still daunting and I do struggle a bit, but what I have to do now is keep it up.

Thank you so much for all the support on here to get me to today. :)

Well done.

If you are going to continue, I would suggest that you get a gait analysis done at a specialist running shop and buy your own running shoes.

Just keep running those 30 minute runs for a few weeks and you will become more comfortable with them. Keep it nice and slow most of the time.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Very well done! The end of the programme and the start of your running journey :)

Very well done to you!!! I love that you’ve done this with your son. It is hard but it does get easier with time. You’ve done amazingly it’s really something to be proud of isn’t it? 😊
