Wednesday!!!! Eeeeekkkkkk😱all done & dusted before 0700hrs. Bizarre really when l look back at W1R1. W5 on the IC after doing both my medial ligaments for 2 weeks. No problems since (fingers crossed) Fab support & advice from the peps on this forum. Plan on doing 30mins 3 times a week post graduation. Thought l would find the courage for a parkrun on Saturday. Anyway, have a fab week 9 & look forward to reading your graduation post👍🏻

I will be thinking of you on my drive to work and rooting for you on Wednesday morning x

I was nervous about doing my first park run. Go - you’ll love it! 🙂

Well done Dragonflies 😃 welcome to week 9 all the best with your final few runs of C25K.

Any thoughts on what you’d like to do afterwards? Do you think you’ll go for 10K eventually? ⭐️

I so have got the bug, even though I have felt nervous before every single run. “Trust the program, trust the program” has been ringing in my ears. After consolidating for a few weeks I would love to try out my local park run, and I would also love to start working towards 10k, but that absolutely petrifies me right now! So, one running shoe 👟 in front of the other for now 😄

in reply to Dragonflies

Aah! that’s great to hear Dragonflies! Great you’ve got the bug. Yes that’s my plan too I’m quite excited about doing a park run, I’m not sure how running with other people will feel but I’m sure it’s amazing once you get into it. Absolutely, one step at a time and see where the journey takes us 😃👍

Wow! Just three more runs to go! And in your next run, you'll know that you can do it... but you should already know that!

Tonight was the first time I felt that I can, apart from a few exhilarating moments when I have reached some previous milestones (like running for 20 minutes without stopping!!!). In between runs have been a bit up and down, but tonight’s feeling was a good one, and I am holding onto that 😁

Thank you. Feels amazing! You are not far behind me 🏃‍♀️

Nearly there! Then the fun really begins as you achieve goals you have set yourself. This running bug is a great thing 🙂

I certainly have the bug, and I am looking forward to setting new targets. You are a great inspiration to me Faith and I love following your posts.

in reply to Dragonflies

Thank you! Ive amazed myself with what’s achievable - especially early morning runs! Never thought I’d be in to that!

Well, early morning runs... that seems very remote to me. Never know what the winter darkness might bring out in me 😱
