I've done it!!

[Janfran]

I'm so pleased. I completed W9R3 this morning before breakfast, and even incorporated a slight incline in my route - unheard of before! I've achieved my aim, at the beginning of September, of completing C25K before setting off on holiday tomorrow. I was laid low by a bug for five days in the middle, but apart from that have run nearly every other day, with a few two-day intervals. 3.5K is somewhat short of 5K, but better than the 3K I was initially achieving. (And I forgive myself due to my great age!) I'm hoping to sign up for a park run when I get home from holiday. I hope a two week break won't set me back too much, but I don't think I'll be running at high altitude, freezing temperatures or in unknown city centres while I'm in Chile! Good luck to all those others out there who are nearing the end of C25K. Though of course it's not the end, it's the beginning.......

Thank you. I'll have a look at the link. Thanks to you and others for your helpful comments along the way too. I just must not rest on my laurels! I'm intending to get up to 5K, though it'll take more than 30 minutes!

Congratulations Janfran!

I am aiming for a similar result in a few weeks time, running alternate days with longer breaks if my legs start to complain.

[Janfran Graduate]

Thanks, 5marty, and good luck with your achieving your goal too.
