A lovely sunny day for a Graduation!

[mickh007]

Well, today was finally Graduation Day and a lovely sunny day to achieve it on.

It has taken me a little longer than the anticipated 9 weeks, but never the less I have made it. The C25K is a great programme for none runners like me, but with the help from the celebs who talk you through it, and all the runners and administrators who offer there support and enthusiasm on this site, its priceless. Thank you.

Next up for me is the Robin Hood half marathon, fortunately I've got a little more time to prepare for that.

Have a lovely weekend all!

Congratulations ' mick007' on graduating and completing week 9 run 3 of C25K, it did not matter that you took a little longer than 9 weeks. 😊

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE next to your username leave a message on the February graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K 🎓 🏃 😊

Good luck for the Robin Hood HM training.

Well done 👍🏼 I too anticipate it taking me longer than the ‘9’ weeks (currently on wk3/3 having started at the end of December, completing wk1&2 approx 4-5 times) however it’s all progress. I too am a non runner! And at 47 having never done any exercise I’m feeling quite proud of myself for even getting out of the front door! So we defo need a pat on the back 😃 🏃‍♀️

Congratulations on your graduation day well done , mine as well today doesn't it feel great and by the way it took me 17 weeks but I don't care we did it 😊😊

[mickh007 in reply to Buddy34]

Congratulations to you too Buddy34, your quite right it does feel great. What's up next for you?

[Buddy34 Graduate in reply to mickh007]

Just consolidating what I've already done for the next few weeks then there's a few other things to try attached to c25k like stepping stones and stamina then speed what about you😊

[mickh007 in reply to Buddy34]

Ultimately I've let myself in for a half marathon like an idiot but that's a long way off, in the meantime, a few park runs, work up to 10k and the waterwipeout in July which looks interesting, watch this space!!!

Congratulations 🎊!!! I bet it feels great looking forward to when I get there, good luck with your new goal

[mickh007 in reply to Raine-49]

Thank you Raine-45, looking forward to the light nights now as not a morning runner! Good luck with your journey, looks as though your almost there!👍

[Raine-49 in reply to mickh007]

I ran yesterday morning and I'm definitely an evening runner! I was going out to a party last night and knew I wouldn't want to run today 😏 isn't it funny we are creatures of habit!

[mickh007 in reply to Raine-49]

It takes me until the evening to warm up. Not that I'm an old croc just yet!! But I do like a glass or two in the evening which might have something to do with it, that's one habit I can't seem to shake off🍷😀!

[SendWine Graduate]

Well done 🏃‍♂️ doesn't matter how long it took you, you've stuck at it and sounds like you've actually enjoyed it 👍

Good luck with the Robin Hood, make sure you let is know how the training's going we're a nosy lot xx

[mickh007 in reply to SendWine]

Thank you and yes sure will, I'm going nowhere. I'm here to stay👍x

[ktsok Graduate]

Brilliant, well done 👏👏🥳

And a half marathon in your sights already, that’s great. Have you got a band of merry men to run with?!

Best of luck to you 🙂

[mickh007 in reply to ktsok]

Thank you, not quite a band of men, but no doubt we'll be merry after it🍻👍
