C25K complete!

It was one of my most difficult runs. At one point I was going so slow I nearly stopped πŸ˜”

First half of the run was good but the second half was a slog. I feel so exhausted I can’t even muster the energy to celebrate that I’ve completed c25k.

Also my little cough is back it’s come on after every run of week 9 and goes once I’ve rested.

On a plus my daughter had made me food for when I got home.

Defo ready for bed now 😴😴😴

Congratulations! What an achievement.

You must be so proud! Even if you’re too tired now to celebrate then you should tomorrow!

Well done

Thanks.

She use to run with me but quit after we did our 5k inflatable run, I’ve only managed to get her to do one run since then. She was going to run last night but I think she was to tired.

I relaxed re watching season one of Bones πŸ˜€

I love Bones... we have the first 5 series on sky... must buy the rest.

I’m sure daughter will occasionally run with you again... won’t take her as much to maintain as it does us oldies.

I’m enjoying watching their relationship start again.

I think she will run again when it takes her fancy πŸ˜€ she did a 28 min run with me and it took her about 4 days to recover, I think she had shin splints.

Thank you. I do feel proud of myself for pushing through now that I’m not so tired. 11 hours of sleep later. We’re going out to lunch this afternoon to celebrate 🎊 so need to get my daughter up.

All rested (11 hours of sleep) and cough gone. Think it’s just my lungs way of recovering from the run.

Ready to move on after reading all these lovely supportive comments.

I will do but from what I’ve read I won’t be able to see it because I’m on the app on my phone not on computer.

the word "Graduate" appears on the right side of everyone who completes W9run3, type in on the header line 'August graduates' tell the administrator that you have completed C25K by running W9R3, the badge may not appear but the g word should
