Runniversary!

I just ran a slow and steady 6k (my current regular distance) and realised it is a year ago today that I graduated

No great insights to offer but I never thought I would be a regular 3 (usually) times a week runner, that I would take my running gear with me whenever I go on holiday, that I would bore my poor husband to death with stats and stories about my exploits, that I would come to LOVE (usually) my runs, that I would be two jeans sizes down (no lighter though), that the dog would recognise my running gear, that I would have several pairs of trainers, that sweaty betty would be my favourite shop, that I would be up at the crack of dawn on a Sunday morning...…

Just saying

Happy runniversary 😊😊it is pretty amazing what C25K can lead to ...here's to the next year and many more, well done

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you very much. It’s making me tired to think about a whole other year running....I will just deal with next week!

[Jay66UK Graduate]

Congratulations. I can see this all ahead of me. And I love it!

Well done for keeping on keeping on.

[Hidden in reply to Jay66UK]

I kind of have the feeling that you will be fine!

[Debell Graduate]

Congratulations on your runniversary - you sound like the person I aspire to be ...the hubby bit achieved already. Haha.

[Hidden in reply to Debell]

Why thank you. Well if I wasn’t being boring about this, it would be something else!🙃

[QueenTea Graduate]

Really encouraging post, Helen - thanks. I can’t yet think beyond completing C25K but great to know others are still running😉

[Hidden in reply to QueenTea]

Thank you 😊 I would have said the same a year and 9 or so weeks ago! You will get there and then you just have to keep doing the same again! Good luck

[Ally25 Graduate]

I have just graduated, I do hope I am you in a years time.....thank you for posting, happy runniversary.....I too am beginning to bore my husband......I’m beginning to recognise that blank stare that’s comes over his face when I start talking about all things to do with running 🤣🤣

[Hidden in reply to Ally25]

😂 poor chaps! Just wait until he is looking bored (and scared) outside the fitting room in Sweaty Betty 😟

[Decker]

Congratulations Helen!! This running business is a bit of a life-changer isn’t it? 😁

[Hidden in reply to Decker]

Thanks Decker, it certainly is! I sometimes feel I should be more aspirational in my running goals but I’m happy jogging about the place with my dog.😊

[Decker in reply to Hidden]

You don’t need to reach anyone’s goals but your own, and its working because you’ve got through an entire year of consistent running using your plan! Many more happy miles to you 😊

[Hidden]

Two jeans sizes down! Way to go!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

It is a rather nice side effect🏃🏾‍♀️

[Bluebirdrunner Graduate]

Happy first Runniversary Helen!😊

A nice 6k to mark the occasion😊...

Hubby's just don't Get it do they😆..running is sooo good😁xxx

[Hidden in reply to Bluebirdrunner]

Thank you so much

You have been a great help over the past year!

To be fair Mr Wheels has been full of praise and support and regularly tells me he is proud

So here’s to the next run!

[LuluLogue Graduate]

Love this post it’s a real motivator. Congratulations on keeping it up for a whole year and sounds like you are reaping the benefits 🙌🏃🏻‍♀️💪🏻

[Hidden in reply to LuluLogue]

Yes, thank you 😊 The benefits are there for you to reap!

[Hidden]

Congratulations on your runniversary!

Two jeans sizes down, not that's REAL motivation for me!!!

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Thank you

One thing about getting older is that the year has flown by!

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

Love it! Its great that you've kept it going. Hilarious how it becomes part of life so quick.

Happy runniversary and here's to many more 🌟🌟🌟🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thank you. I feel a little like the queen with a Birthday and an official Birthday

No other similarities however

[JaneE71]

Congratulations and Happy Runniversary! 6 k is brilliant too!

I love that running has changed your life and I’m feeling inspired that you have made so many positive changes (impressed with your choice of clothes too!)which just goes to show how amazing this programme is.

Keep leading the way!

🌟🏃‍♀️🏅

[Hidden in reply to JaneE71]

Thank you

Yes this programme is life changing indeed. Started for me when a friend (with whom I have a secretly competitive relationship) mentioned she had started C25K

[Jullaly Graduate]

That is such a lovely post, I love running with my dogs and they are waiting at the door as soon as they see me anywhere near my running gear. Im hoping to graduate by end of next week and hope that in one year from now I will be having a runniversary with your 2nd one

[Hidden in reply to Jullaly]

Let’s book the village hall for a party 🎈. My dog (also a Collie) starts barking at me when I appear in my running stuff!

[Jullaly Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I will remind you of our joint party 🎉

[Hidden in reply to Jullaly]

Do!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

You are just a hopeless runjunkie, Helen!!!

But it could be worse.

Here's wishing you many happy reruns!

[Hidden]

Thanks mate. Hope all is good with you

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

Happy runniversary Hidden ....I know, it’s amazing what this running lark does to us?! What did we ever do without it?! 🤔

[Hidden in reply to Mummycav]

Thanks. I actually cannot imagine life without running 🏃🏾‍♀️

Is your ankle mended?

[skysue16 Graduate]

[Hidden in reply to skysue16]
