Finally graduated!!!!!! After a few injury related hiccups along the way and starting the process about 4 times I have achieved my goal. I actually carried on running and did 6 K in 32 minutes. Thanks to all who have contributed along the way with help and advice and all who are on the programme whose stories have inspired me to carry on. To anyone reading this is struggling please please please carry on. The feeling of achievement is immense. I have gone from a fat nearly 50 year old who shuffled around my local park for a minute at 5 a.m. for fear of being seen to proudly pounding the streets in bright green trainers running for a full 30 minutes. What a great day. Now for the 10K programme πŸ˜€πŸ˜€

Wow! Pete1w - that’s a great time and what an achievement for you. You have every right to feel proud. I graduated yesterday and like you am looking forward to what comes next - consolidation first though I think πŸ€”

Here’s to our future running programme - whatever that may be! πŸ₯‚
