Today was the last run of week 9!!!

Decided to do the graduation run at the local park run. Told myself that if I stopped to walk this run wouldn’t count. It was a really windy day and I did feel like walking at certain times but no I carried on running, maybe a bit slower but I didn’t stop!! When Laura said I have run a full 30 minutes I could see the finishing line so managed to push forward and run the last couple of minutes to cross the finishing line at 31 mins 58 secs.

Feeling so proud of myself for following the couch to 5k programme and graduating. Now for the 10k programme.

What a fantastic programme to follow. !! and what an amazing bunch of people in this community, such great encouragement.

Very well done Loopyloo, doesn’t that feel grand?

And your parkrun time should make you very proud.

I still can’t do that time at least 3 months after graduating!!!!

Enjoy the glow!
