Finally graduated!😊👍🏻

[ejbee]

So the time finally arrived last Tuesday...I GRADUATED!! Seriously cannot believe I’ve learnt to run...I used to mimic vomiting if ever anyone suggested I run lol. To celebrate I booked myself into the Race for Life on Sunday and completed my first full 5k in 36 minutes!😊👍🏻

Apart from wanting to scream about my graduation (lol) I wanted to share a thought and here it is.

Yes I completed the c25k but it took me 16 weeks instead of the suggested 9 weeks. There were weeks that I struggled with the pace, times that I felt unwell and also snow got involved! Instead of stressing or giving up I just chose to repeat weeks until I felt confident.The moral is that life happens, so I would urge anybody whose struggling or doubting themselves to take the program at your own pace as you will get there....think the tortoise & the hare😊

Good luck with your journey! Xx

And 36 minutes! I think you must be the hare 🐇

[ejbee Graduate in reply to Bridget007]

God I’d love to be the hare 😀...in truth I was running with 2 friends who were supporting me all the way, it made such a difference!😊xx

[Bridget007 Graduate in reply to ejbee]

In comparison to me you are 🐢 your friends would have had to have been pulling me on roller skates to go that fast 🤣🤣

[ejbee Graduate in reply to Bridget007]

That would’ve been a novel approach and potentially a less sweaty option😂😂.
