Week 9 run 3 - Graduation 👩🏼‍🎓

[EmmaA-F]

Wow! 9 weeks ago I never thought I would get this far.... I didn’t actually think I’d manage the 3 mins runs let alone running for a whole 30 mins.... although today I ran for 35 because I accidentally pulled out my headphones and didn’t realise the app had paused 🤦🏼‍♀️ I only realised because I had gone past half way without recognition from Sarah.

If anyone reading this is just starting out, you can do this... if I can anyone can! Slay the gremlins (that’s the voice in your head that tells you not to bother and you should be at home eating cake 🍰)

I have really loved this journey, thanks for all the support!

I’m going to keep running as I’ve not managed the 5k in 30 mins yet... but I will let you know when I do! Also looking forward to some more treadmill runs and park runs too!

🎉😁👩🏼‍🎓🙌🏻💪🏻🏃🏼‍♀️🎉

Many congratulations Emma. You’ve earned that cake,

And don’t you feel great knowing you can run for 30 minutes. That’s TEN times 3 minutes btw!

[EmmaA-F Graduate in reply to BarbieW]

That exactly what I thought! It’s insane to think I can run that far and today I really enjoyed it, and added an extra block to my run 😊

I’m definitely having cake today to celebrate 🎉🍰

Wow! Well done! I'm on Week 3 so a third of the way through; I love reading about other people's journeys and success as it makes me feel as if I can do it too. Enjoy ALL the cake!!!

[EmmaA-F Graduate in reply to Scarlettbunnykins]

Thank you.

I was exactly the same and those people are now Week 6 bridge to 10k 😳 that won’t be me, I want to hit 5k in 30 mins first and then we’ll see 🙃

Will share my cake picture later 😁

[ChettyAl Graduate]

Very well done, this really is a brilliant concept isn’t it, the C25K! Like you, I have loved it..... mostly! Check out JuJu on the bridge to 10k. I am going to start next week.. we’ll done!

[EmmaA-F Graduate in reply to ChettyAl]

Well done to you too!! I’m not bridging (yet) going to nail the 30 mins first and eat cake today 😁 will join and follow you though! 👀

I have had a few tough days but so glad I kept going 😊

[ChettyAl Graduate]

That is wonderful, many congratulations. Good to know we have similar thoughts and we can get there if we want to.

[EmmaA-F Graduate in reply to Jalk]

Thank you!

My Gremlins started around week 6/7 I think it was the thought of the long runs, I change my route and made sure that my playlist was tracks that kept my pace. As soon as I started to think about turning round and going home I said no, we are doing this and kept going... by half way I was fine 😊
