Week 9 run 3 done it🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Keeponrunning1]

I set myself a goal many years ago to be able run one mile on my 60th. birthday. Just over 7 weeks ago I set myself a goal to finish C25K. Today I did week 9 run 3 and finished thinking about a new conundrum. My 60th is 2 weeks away and now I don’t know if I should stick with the original plan and run one mile just for that day then celebrate 🥂🥂or carry on with the 30mins. (Just over 3 miles). Maybe I will see how I feel on the day. To all you C25K runners out there you can do this. #keeponrunning🙂

[Fatbottomgirl Graduate]

Perhaps you should run to the pub to celebrate both graduating and your birthday🤗🤗 Congratulations on both and have a fantastic celebration 🥂🥂

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Fatbottomgirl]

Thanks that’s a great idea after a few red wines I can get over the hangover the next day (rest day). 😂👍🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[ktsok Graduate]

Brilliant job, well done! You should do whatever you like on your 60th - it’s your birthday, after all. How about running one mile somewhere gorgeous... or with a lovely pub with some fantastic grub at the end? 🙂

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to ktsok]

Sounds good. Thanks I might do that. 👍😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Nannyto2 Graduate]

Well done you and happy 60th 🎉

I'm 63 in June and on w4r3 this week.

I feel fabulous after each run, age is but a number!!

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Nannyto2]

Thanks. You are right it is only a number.

Good luck with your running keep it slow and you will get there. 👍😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Greysixty Graduate]

Well done. Whatever you decide to do on your big day, hope it’s a happy one. I started in December and hoping to reach week 9 in time for my 64th !! Hope you are going to treat yourself in some way other than running a mile.😀xx

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Greysixty]

Thanks. Good luck with your running I am sure that if you take it steady you will get there for your 64th. 👍😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[RomeoandH]

Do what your body feels comfortable with. I started my couch to 5k during latter end of November 2019 and I have maintained 3 5k runs each week since. I feel that if I keep on top of my fitness regime that I worked so hard to get I will be inspired to try for the 10K at some point.

Have a great birthday!

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to RomeoandH]

Thanks. 10k might be my next goal, not sure if it’s a bit too far though. Good luck with your running.

👍😊🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Nanasueby]

Congratulations on your 60th birthday. Hope you celebrate in style 🎂🍺🍾. It's my 60th in June and I've just completed Week 5 run 1. I'm loving this running lark 😀

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Nanasueby]

Thanks I will. 👍 You carry on enjoying the running and you will have graduated and consolidated numerous runs by your 60th. And here’s your first early Happy 60th for June 🥂🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Lilianne]

Of course go how you feel on the day. However, if the further run is your ambition, give it a go!! Good luck. Lilianne.

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Lilianne]

Thanks I will see how I feel on the day it might depend on if I celebrate the night before 😂 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️🏃‍♂️

[Lilianne]

Oh no! You celebrate after the run when you have achieved your aim!! So aim high!!. Besty wishes and good luck. Lilianne.

[Keeponrunning1 Graduate in reply to Lilianne]
