How to celebrate?

[Nomad2001]

How did you celebrate or plan to celebrate once you finish couch to 5k?

I graduated on my Sons 8th Birthday. We only frequent McDonalds a couple of times a year, but had made a promise to go so I celebrated with my family in McDonalds.

But I properly celebrated a few days later at my local Parkrun.

Haha!!! Great! We hardly go to McD but I do like their fish burgers. Defo an option.

Good question...

I want to celebrate when I succeed too. No food though...actually maybe a curry if I delay the celebration with the Eurovision (my tradtion).

Hmmm a nice item to purchase or massage?

Zara I’m on w6r2. Great to know ur not far ahead. Looking forward to 25mins!!! Scary but exciting!

[Zara2017 Graduate in reply to Nomad2001]

So we may complete around the same time. Meet at the finish line😁 I was hoping for a marathon medal. Feels a marathon!

[Nomad2001 Graduate]

Ooh a spa day with a full body massage. Now that’s a idea

[Zara2017 Graduate]

Spa day. Yes! Good idea. Woburn CenterParcs I think. Its lush😂

Champagne and pizza followed by ice cream and then planning the journey from my next start line.

I went for a Run! 😂

Seriously though - I wish I had done something special, but I think I was so darned surprised that I had actually done it I was in shock

I just walked home and posted that if done it. Two days later I was still starting my run thinking 'Can I really run that long?'

So - what I did to mark the occasion was buy a Movie Poster I'd been wanting a long time and now could treat myself to without havering over "a bit much to spend on myself" Gremlins

[Nomad2001 Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Haha brilliant! I understand about the doubt. I ran 20mins last week and have a doubt I can’t do it this week. Loved the movie gremlins.

[Irish-John Graduate in reply to Nomad2001]

I saw the movie on a ship...in the middle of a major gale...seldom have I been as sick in my life....parts of the movie sure didn't help

I graduated on the morning after the Manchester bomb, so no celebration but rather a determination to be strong, unbowed and unbeaten....

[Nomad2001 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Oh Helen that was such a tragic day. Of course u didn’t feel like celebrating. Are u still running? Do u follow another program now?
