First post graduation run. I love C25K 😁

[Jerichomile]

Yep now I’m in first week of the rest of my life if you see what I mean! This running thing has rapidly become something I look forward to. I think it might be making me more resilient to stress.....has anyone else found that? I’m coping with stuff at work that would’ve floored me before. Now I secretly go “huh! I can RUN (a bit!) so I can definitely do THIS thing” 😁

I do agree with you Jerichomile regarding running as a stress reliever/buster, many people find that running does relieve work stress, your title "I love C25K ." yes, who does NOT love C25K? 😀.

Wow, another gorgeous photo - I am getting runners' envy today with everyone's lovely running spots! Well done for completing the first run of the rest of your life - the first of many, many more!

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Debston]

I could post one of the grey, lamppost lined pavement street where I usually run 😉

[Debston Graduate in reply to Jerichomile]

I'll post one from my graduation run tomorrow - heading to a local beauty spot for it so might take a few, can't wait!

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Debston]

That's a beautiful photo, what a lovely place to run! Well done on graduation 🎉👏🏆🏅

Running is great for stress and mental health 👍😀

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Shar71, how’s your running journey?

[Hidden in reply to Jerichomile]

It's an amazing journey I have undertaken and hopefully a journey that will continue for many years, there are so many benefits to be had from running, mentally and physically, I'm currently on wk7 r3 tomorrow and looking forward to graduation which is not the end its just the beginning 😁

[Mike_Bravo Graduate]

Congrats Jerichomile 🙂 C25K loves you too 👍

Running is a known stress-buster, I'm glad it's been doing that for you!

I'm sure most people you bump into at work couldn't run as far as you can!

Get joined to the Bridge to 10k and see where you want to take your running next 🍾🎊🎉🎆

Beautiful photo , that looks amazing. I definitely agree with the stress relief.

My dad is retired now but he had a very stressful job and used to run each lunch time as we lived so close to his work and recently he told me he needed to do that.

Good to know Zippy17726 👍

Hi Jerichomile,congratulations on your first post graduation run.I’m going to do my w8r3 a bit later.And yes...I thought maybe just me...but...I’ve a new found confidence too!I am attempting things in a completely different mindset.Lovely photo!

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Bentley3]

Yes! ..... “different mindset” puts it perfectly. Have a great w8r3 today 👏

[Jogunlikely Graduate]

Oooh I have location envy. Stunning photo 👍 how's the consolidation going?

[Jerichomile Graduate in reply to Jogunlikely]

Oops........😔 to be honest I’ve struggled....I missed last week out altogether. Mixture of tired and got derailed by some stress stuff. I’m going out today though and will do W9 again to restart consolidation. Thanks so much for asking. I’m a lone runner (not with a running group) so appreciate the community support! Send me some encouragement?!? Thanks.

[Jogunlikely Graduate in reply to Jerichomile]

No probs. Just remember you can run for as long or as little as you like so if short of time a quick 10/15 min jog round the block would be good 👍😊
