I have done it.!!!!

It nearly killed me as it is raining heavily. The wind was straight in my face for the final 10 minutes, my legs were sore to begin with ( can wearing 4 inch heels at a wedding on Saturday be the cause?)

But regardless of that, I never thought I would have been able to do this, I drove through my running route on Sunday and found myself saying, " I was still running, and still running...".It seemed a long way. A side effect seems to be talking to myself, maybe because of the muttered responses that I make to Laura .

Now I just have to keep it up. Thank you for all the comments and advice that I have read on here, it's been inspiring.

Good luck to all today's runners ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿคฉ

Many congratulations fellow runner.

The guide to post C25K running may be helpful healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Four inch heels are not good for your Achilles............. I never wear them.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Congratulations and well done! I mutter at Laura too - especially when she tells me that I might be feeling a bit tired now! But I found myself singing along to "you and Julie' on the warm up walk for my graduation run this morning - no hope left for me!

Jell6Graduate in reply to CarolineKC

Thanks, and congratulations to you too!๐Ÿ˜.

I was thinking of trying Sarah Millican next run, just to give Laura an abuse break.

Could be the heels for sure! Don't worry about talking to yourself, I believe if you can't talk to yourself how can anyone else be expected to!?๐Ÿคฃ๐Ÿคฃ

Brilliant achievement - well done! I think many of the recent and current graduates have done it in the most appalling weather, so well done you for graduating in the rain! You should feel very proud of yourself - love the shiny badge! ๐Ÿ˜€๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐ŸŽ“

Jell6Graduate in reply to JoP61

Thank you, If I had let the weather dictate it , I'd probably still be on week 2, I'm not a gym member, so it was go out or nowt ๐Ÿ™

JoP61 profile image
JoP61Graduate in reply to Jell6

I'm right with you there - the gym is the devil's business in my opinion, so I have had to cope with the weather and ended up running in rain (frequently), which I quite enjoy (?), and also snow, which was fun. Running outside is great. Good luck with your running journey post C25K. x ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ’ช

Jell6 profile image
Jell6Graduate in reply to JoP61

I also risked the snow. I did wonder this morning how I will cope in the warm weather (If we have any) I'm hot as hell when I get in after running (?!) in 2 degrees ๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…๐Ÿ˜…

JoP61Graduate in reply to Jell6

Oh gosh - are you my twin? I love running in the cold, and warm up really quickly. Can't imagine running when it's hot or even slightly warm. Think I will be running in the middle of the night!! ๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚

Jell6Graduate in reply to JoP61

๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚๐Ÿ˜‚ that could be the answer.

I'll start checking out headlamps on Amazon!!
