Second graduation - is that a Masters? ;)

Done, dusted and combined with Week 1 of "10 is the Magic Number" plan.

I'm astonished at the some of the splits - it was blowing so hard on the upslope (headwind of course) I was taking six inch strides and it felt like I was barely moving.

The rainbow is because I was getting impatient for the rain to stop so I could go out for the run so I went out in the rain (much to the dog's disgust and incredulity). It's now stopped of course. I sprinted but didn't get to the end of the rainbow :(

Oh, and it's my birthday too ๐ŸŽ‚๐Ÿพ๐Ÿฐ๐Ÿพ

My message to anyone struggling at some point in C25K: it's a lot easier the second time :)

Happy birthday and well done fellow โ™๏ธ Scorpio! Youโ€™re much braver than me, Iโ€™ve postponed my 10k run until the weather behaves itself a bit!

Many congratulations again on your graduation fellow runner.

I don't know if you have read this guide to post C25K running healthunlocked.com/couchto5... but it may still have useful advice for you.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thanks, I remember feeling a bit lost after I graduated the first time so there's a lot to help there, as well as ju-ju- 's "10 is the Magic Number" that I've started out on.

Not what you're looking for?

Rain, Wind, 5K, a Rainbow ...oh and GRADUATION!!!

Tonight I have graduated and I am so so pleased. First things first; the run: After...

Well that's me finished! W9R3 run tonight...

Seems only polite to tell everyone that I managed to finish W9R3 tonight... It was quite nice...

Graduation second time round

Well that's not really possible I guess but I did the last of the three week 9 runs this morning,...

What a run!

Set out into a sunny wintry day ... a few hailstones still on the ground from an earlier storm....

That was like pulling teeth!!!

Rain? It's going to rain you say?? Well, it's not raining now that I'm sat in the car is it??!!!...
