YIPPEEEEEE!!! I JUST GRADUATED! πŸ˜ƒπŸ˜ŠπŸ†

Wow! What an amazing feeling this is! (Lol! Sorry if I sound like I’m making an Oscars Speech!) I’m feeling so proud of myself. 😊 I was NO runner but now I think I may be one and have totally caught the bug!

The Stats:

1. Today I ran just over 4KM in 30 mins (my fastest run yet)

2. I’ve gone from 90KG to 84KG

3. Im now wearing size 14 (down from 16)

4. Total confidence booster and loving people saying β€˜oh Maria have you been dieting’ and I say NO...IVE BEEN RUNNING!! πŸ˜ƒ

5. I CAN RUN A 5K!!! (Have done 3 so far in Park Runs - which are amazing!)

Now, seriously...for any doubters/thinking about giving uppers/strugglers/questioners in the words of dear old NIKE... JUST DO IT!!! Also YOU CAN DO IT!

Thank you so much to all the C25K people who answer questions, encourage, support and build up! This is a great community! Thank you Laura...I’m not sure I can run without you now!!!

Speech over! πŸ₯³πŸ€£

Running just getting started! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ†

Wow! That is so encouraging to hear! Are you following any specific plan?

Buddy34Graduate in reply to futurefit

No plan really I run about 30 to 40 minutes for each run sometimes one shorter one and just enjoy it no pressure 😊😊

Your post really inspired me so thank you. Many congratulations on your huge achievement. I am just beginning and my motivation is to get fit. However at 55 years old and at least 2 stone overweight I am hoping weight loss will be a side effect πŸ˜€

Congratulations! And great post... already in the replies you can see that you are now somebody else’s encouragement and support. Celebrate well... enjoy consolidation and all your future running adventures.

As you’re quoting Nike... β€œThere are no finish lines” is another of their slogans.

futurefitGraduate in reply to UnfitNoMore

Thank you so much and I love that slogan!!! I was so encouraged by people on here and so hope I can offer just a little bit of that back. It’s hard to explain but I feel like I’ve been given a new lease of life and am so much happier in myself. Never thought something like running could do that but clearly it can and has. Now I will have a few weeks of consolidation runs and then maybe try Bridge to 10K...I’ve so got the bug! πŸ˜ŠπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ˜ƒ

UnfitNoMoreGraduate in reply to futurefit

It is hard to explain... but it’s easy to understand, we all get it when this is done.

B210k is a great place (that I don’t get to post on as much as I’d like) and the plan there is... quite frankly... genius, so much better than others I’ve seen. You’ll love it.
