Graduated! 😃😃😃

[GemmaTakeTwo]

Well I’ve just completed my early morning w9r3 graduation run in beautiful sunshine. It’s my second time graduating - I completed the plan last November but then found the early mornings too dark and icey so did nothing more until I ate far too much chocolate at Easter and restarted from week 1. I didn’t find it physically any easier second time round, but mentally it was a lot easier as I had more faith in the plan (and me) and I’ve really enjoyed my runs (esp the feeling you get when you finish!!). I’ve never really concentrated on pace or distance, just followed what Laura was telling me to do, but I tracked my run today and I managed to run 5km in 30 mins 13 seconds!! So pleased! I really do plan to continue my 3 weekly runs this time, and if the weather puts me off I’ll head to the gym to run indoors. I’m looking into having a go at a park run in a few weeks tine.

I’ve loved reading all your posts - keep going everyone - you can do it!!

Awesome 👊🏻👊🏻! Well done 🤗

Im thinking about treating myself to a treadmill in the winter, coz like you theres no way i’ll be running if theres even the slightest bit of ice 😂

Enjoy the buzz 😃

Congratulations Gemma in completing C25K and graduating, nice to do that in a beautiful early morning in June, tomorrow is my final graduation run, a little bit nervous about that but looking forward to it.

Well done.

This is my second time round too. Like you, it's definitely not physically easier but I feel more positive this time because know it works.

Here's to not letting life get in the way and making running a way of life!
