I completed the programme! Dreaded every run and hated every run, though the feeling after each was great. Just waiting on sponsored park run so I could pack the whole running thing in. Injured myself moving boxes so going to have to wait to recover and build self up again. Secretly pleased but not for the reason you’d think .... it means I will have to carry on running. Even found myself thinking well maybe I could do a light run. Clearly this C25k thing is addictive and I am now hooked πŸ˜‚

I know it's the gremlins talking but about 3/4 of the way through my runs I get like this. "Why the hell am I doing this? I'm not enjoying it blah blah blah" but then when I finish I feel great and on the rest day I look forward to doing the next one.

But very well done on your completing the programme, graduate! Here's your graduation donut! 🍩
