So I cannot quite believe I can post this but today is the day I have graduatedπŸŽ“πŸŽ“ Nine weeks ago I did not think it was possible but today I finished my last run in the plan. I'm not at 5k yet but 9 weeks ago I struggled to run the 30 seconds. 17 weeks ago I decided to change my lifestyle, i lost a stone and decided to try running. I. Now 31lb lighter and running 30 minutes. Who would have thought it. To all those just starting, trust me if I can do it you can. To those kids that have called me names and given me abuse when I run past LOOK AT ME NOW I'M A RUNNERπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ’œπŸ’œ

High five πŸ– FBG. Well done you.

I bet you’re well chuffed. πŸ˜€

You can be my inspiration. I’m on week six as of tomorrow. Never even thought I’d get past week 1.

F then is what I say and massive congratulations to you! Well done, you have achieved a massive milestone πŸŽ‰πŸŽπŸ‹οΈβ€β™‚οΈπŸ₯³πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

My advice is keep your running rhythm. I stopped for a bit after graduation and it’s a bit hard to get going again. Even if you just go out for a quick 15’, it will be easier. But for now, obviously, party time !

Such a great feeling to have cracked the C25K...well done, congratulations. Happy running. Can be strange not having C25K telling you what to do at first....so I used week 9 for awhile. I was very sad when I feel Malloy said goodbye to Michael Johnson! - he was my mentor. There are other apps out there to help you consolidate your running...whatever you do, just enjoy your running. πŸ™‚πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ™‚πŸŒ»

I was planning on repeating week 9 for a few more runs. I had Sarah Millican in my ear and I dont want to give her up just yet! I need the time breakdown to keep me going. Feel fantastic today!!
