Week 9... DONE BABY! GRADUATION TIME! 🎇🎉🎓

WHOO-HOO! 🎈🎆🎉 🎓

Wow, I don't know what to say... there are so many people I need to thank.

I'd like to thank Michael Johnson, for all his encouragement... he never stopped believing in me. Thanks Michael!

I'd also like to thank all the people in this community for all their fantastic advice and support! It really was amazing to share this journey with you guys... really does feel like we did it together...I promised I wouldn't cry.

Seriously this has been amazing, and I'm recommending C25K and this community to everyone I know. I feel awesome today! Very, very happy! Whoo-hoo!😆

Thanks Jao, I'm looking forward to seeing your graduation post soon! Well, I'm looking to book a 10k in September, so that's the plan. Nice and steady though, no rush.

[JaoJao in reply to Hidden]

Brave you going for 10k, I hope it goes really well.

I am on track to graduate in June (my birthday present to myself!). My next run is W7R1 🙈

Looking at introducing stretching for the next 3 weeks... so close! so close!

[Hidden in reply to JaoJao]

You are indeed close! Good luck with Week 7 Jao. Let us know how it goes.

[SaskAlliecat Graduate]

Whoohoo! Congrats on a great achievement. Enjoy the next phase of your running journey - spend some time doing 30 minute runs and then when you're ready, you can decide if you want to go further or stay enjoying the 30 minute runs.

[Hidden in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks Sask! Yes it's going to be Parkrun and a couple of runs through the week. Later i'd like to start working my way up to 10k... when I'm comfortable.

[SaskAlliecat Graduate in reply to Hidden]

A great plan!
