Week 9 Run 3 - Graduation, baby!

I did it! Today I ran my graduation run. Feeling loose and easy, I loped my way over that finish line with a whoop and a holler. My son said he's never been prouder of me. My husband was speechless (a rare circumstance, lol)

The support of this community was invaluable, and the advice I received from you veterans of C25K was wonderful. Thank you.

The 10K isn't a future goal for me....but running a 5K 3-4 times a week for the rrat of my life and consistently improving my technique and speed certainly is.

Happy Friday!

Hang in there, Pet24. I seriously freaked out after how difficult Week 1 was, lol. This community and my son's encouragement kept me going.

You can do this!!!

Huge congratulations and very, very well done. Such fun to surprise folk!

There is a lot you can move onto now, with those runs you are planning, but... I should warn you....:)

I too remember saying.... " I am happy now with the 5K runs.... I shan't move onto 10K..." hahahahaha!!! 10K is now a regular Sunday run and just embarking on a HM plan :)
