Job done, graduated, get the badge buffed up ๐! Bit of an anti climax if Iโm honest after doing the 5k in 30 mins last run, and the wind, rain and ever present achy knees didnโt help, but I got there ๐. More of a celebratory jog than run, and couldnโt even raise a wee sprint at the end, but still 4.6k so nae too shabby! Final song playing at the finish was Brimful of Asha by Cornerstone so at least that put a smile on my face and a bit of a bounce to my stride ๐! Anyway, going to take a few days off, let my knees heal properly! Unless they feel fine midweek next run looking like my first parkrun next weekend! Thanks to all for listening to my knee related moans and groans past few weeks, itโs been totes emotional ๐ญ๐

Fantastic achievement! You did it. You get to choose when and how long you run now you know you've achieved your initial goals.
I've just had to put Asha on whilst posting this! Always makes me smile. My lead singer always used to quote this during the extended ending to our set, so it makes me feel quite giddy!

Well done !!!! Rest those knees and Iโll see you at our first park run. Iโll be the one crying on my husbands shoulder at the end if I can do it !!! ๐๐ปโโ๏ธ๐ฅ
Working on week 6 right now can't say I'm in love with running but did a 7 mile WALK yesterday. Still it's nice to hear people graduating from C25k

Well done ๐ and what musical taste!
I have three different versions of Brimful of Asha on my running playlist - so uplifting.
Blimey!! Iโm so late commenting that youโve already got the word โgraduateโ next to your name!! Well done!! Most excellent news!! I was looking all weekend for details of your glory run - so glad you made it!! Now the fun begins!! (Iโve gone down with chest infection over weekend - so running on hold for a few days... โน๏ธ).
Aww thanks Kertesz ๐! Wasnโt too glorious that was run 2 but got it done finally ๐! Iโm dedicating part of my graduation (maybe 10% ๐) to you and your โfairy steps ๐โ couldnโt have done it without them! I downloaded the โbridge to 10Kโ app today, and Iโm not sure itโs how I want to go, so not sure yet what shape or form any future โfunโsโ going to take ๐คทโโ๏ธ๐! Sorry to hear your poorly, hope your back fit and pounding the streets again soon ๐! Itโll be your graduation time before you know it ๐

Well done!
Great work......10K is a good aim, but I have found that a few parkrunโs and better/easier times see, to be good prep....if you fancy a sprint at the end of a Parkrun I can recommend Jilted John by Jilted John...but not if you are gasping, donโt want any collapses on my conscience....๐๐๐๐ณ๐ณ

Well done on graduating! ๐I've been listening to desert island discs podcasts when running recently and now only have to hear the title music and I'm itching to be out. Weird huh!
Thatโs something Iโve never listened to ๐! Is Lauren Laverne still doing it, I know she was sitting in for a while? Iโm a 6 music devotee so have her on every morning ๐
Well done xx
Aw.. really?!! 10%?!!!! I couldnโt be more honoured... thank you ๐!! Yes, Iโm also not sure whatโs โnextโ... (not that Iโve got to the finishing line yet!!) Keeping posting! Keep being inspiring!!

๐ what can I say, Iโm a generous fella ๐! Youโll be at the finish line before you know it!! What week you on now? Iโm not sure I should keep posting, looked back thru all my posts last night ๐คฆโโ๏ธ! What a moaning minny, โoooh my knees hurt, oooh it was windy, oooh I didnโt manage to run far enuffโ ๐! You poor people having to listen to all that ๐!!

Yay. Fantastic. Well done ๐ค
Thanks Fiona! And well done to you too on your graduation ๐ฉ๐ปโ๐! Great achievement ๐
Ohhh thanks ๐
What you planning on doing next? Iโve still not decided what route to 10K Iโm going to take ๐
Iโm really not sure. I like the idea of doing 10K but really not confident that I could do it. You tell me what youโre doing and perhaps we could spur each other on!!!
Deal ๐! I think Iโm going to do one of these parkrun thingyโs at the weekend get the competitive juices flowing ๐! I downloaded the โbridge to 10Kโ app but it goes back to walking breaks and not sure I want to do that again ๐! Youโd definitely manage the step to 10K if youโve got this far ๐
