Yee-hah! Another W9R3 graduate (even if Laura cheated on me ...)

Just like for a number of others here today, November 2nd isn't quite time for fireworks but it is a good day to celebrate C25k completed.

I was slightly miffed that Laura tried to cheat me out of a minute's running -- a call came in while running and it seems to have stuffed up the timing of the voiceovers in the app -- but I was so close to the elusive 5k after 30 mins that, with a little help from Google Fit, I carried on anyway and hit that milestone 20 seconds later. That'll do nicely

And the best thing of all, was that this run was enjoyable from beginning to end! I can't say that's been the feeling all the way through, and I doubt it'll be the case in the darkest, coldest days of December, but I'll take that feeling while I can.

Thanks to everyone on the forum who has encouraged. Even if the posts haven't been for me, or relevant to the stage I've been at, it's still great to see the spirit of mutual support.

Parkrun here I come!

Congratulations! December is fine... early February may bite 😂

Great run to finish on... double the congrats for that 5k

Enjoy that parkrun and the celebration today.

Yes, I'm trying not to think too much about February! A nice warm gym membership may beckon at that point
