Well I just graduated today! W9 R3 completed with a 5k Santa hat run.

I'm amazed at how I've developed over the last 9 weeks. I've transformed from a run hater to a lover!

I can't believe that I can now run 5k.

The C25K app has been so beneficial to me.

Found W6 difficult if my memory serves me correctly but pushed through it.

There's a lot of great advice to be had on this site and it's prevented me doing something stupid or doing too much! Thank you everyone!

I need to keep it up now. Upward and onward with C25K+, registered for Parkrun, then maybe bridge to 10k???

#10kByMay 😄 #maybe

Merry Christmas!

Well done!! I'm on run 2 of week 8, found first run of the week a real challenge, but powered through. Dreading today's run but you're an inspiration so I'm just going to get on and do it! Merry Christmas, you've given yourself a fantastic present!

Brilliant! Have a great Xmas 😸

I graduated last month and built up my total running time by adding 10% every week... So 33, then 36, then 40 and consolidated on that.

🎅 Xmas Katnap 🎅
