Graduation run!

[Dee_N]

So I’ve finally got there!! It has been a very long but rewarding journey!! I must admit today’s run wasn’t my best but I did it!! 😁😁😁

Thanks VRB’s I couldn’t have done it without you! Going forward I’ll be sticking to small runs a couple of times a week. Nothing too strenuous as I can’t commit to anything too gruelling right now, but nice to have that knowledge that I have the ability to run for pleasure now! What a gift. 😍

A brilliant program!! Thank you so much couch to 5K!!

Happy running folks!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Still a panther? Or have I morphed!?

[Jay66UK Graduate in reply to Dee_N]

You were a baby panther. Now a fully fledged big ‘un. Well done.

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Haha! Cheers Jay x

[Hidden]

Well done! How did it go? I’m sure you’re super proud of yourself!!

Are you planning on doing the B210K?

Or just carry on with the 30min runs?

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Hi! Yes very proud! 🙂Tbh not a brilliant run but I wasn’t feeling completely fit before I set off so it was to be expected. I’ll just be carrying on with 30min runs. I had thought of doing the B210K but can’t commit to training for it at the moment. So for now it will just be getting out when I can and running for pleasure. Even that will be a challenge when ‘winter is coming!’ 🙈😬

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

Winter is coming!!! Ask the Starks! 😂 well I’m just doing the same. Possibly trying to push my self a little bit as I always love a challenge. But well done. People think it’s easy but it ain’t 🙏

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Haha glad you’re also a GOT fan!! It isn’t easy. It’s having both the physical and mental stamina, but also the motivation to keep going out there each time knowing it won’t be easy.

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

I guess if it was easy everyone would do it. We all choose to do it because we’ve finally had enough of getting unfit and unhealthy and decided to kick our own butts in to shape!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Haha exactly and something to prove to ourselves! It was almost like a bit of an experiment for me, I just didn’t think it was possible!!!

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

Me either 😂

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Taken up 🧘🏻‍♂️ yet?

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

😂 not just yet!! Had a go yesterday, watching a YouTube vid. Not a clue what I’m doing though!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

🤣 keep going- you’ll get the hang of it! At least nobody can see you!

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

So true! Especially if I do it in the dark!! We can’t all be yoga experts 😂🤣

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Maybe that’s where you’re going wrong??? Would probably account for the strange bruises on your leg!

[MandiV]

Wow well done and enjoy!

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to MandiV]

Thank you! 😁

[Taffinator Graduate]

Yeah well done you x

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Taffinator]

Cheers mate!!x

[Hidden]

Haha. Probably. The yoga pants are probably too tight!! 😂 🤢

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Just need a pair of shorts lol

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

👍

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

It’s my left leg and knee that seems to be the issue. That’s why I thought some form of yoga or something may help. I’m not sure though.

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well it can’t harm. The balance poses will definitely help to strengthen your legs

[Hidden in reply to Dee_N]

I will have to keep trying them

[Flaraflarkin Graduate]

You've done it!! I missed it!! 😱🙄😂 (I've been in hospital, but home and fine now 😊) OMG huge congratulations to you lovely lady!! Never doubted you 🦋👊🦋

[Dee_N Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

Flara!!! Why were you in hospital!?? Hope you’re ok!! 😘😘😘

[Hidden]

Well done and congratulations on graduating 👏👏👏👏
