Finished week 8 this morning 😀

So my next run will be week 9! Where has the time gone? I’ve only told a few people I’m doing this and every now and then they ask “are you still doing it?” My answer always is “of course”. I mean, I’ve started so I’ll finish. I’ve surprised myself (and others by the sounds of it!) and am very proud to have not missed a day so far. Kept to the strict rest days in between. Even did a race for life on one of my run days (forgot to start my app so couldn’t use it as one of my runs - would’ve felt like cheating). It’s so amazing how the body copes - it must be in shock haha that I’ve put it through this but it’s definitely coped - well done body! Can’t leave my mind out of it - it’s tried to stop me a few times, telling me “it’s raining” or “there’s people out there” or other times it’s been “ come on, get out of bed - it’s run day!” I feel proud I’m almost there. Then I’ll be trying out park runs and virtual races - no stopping me now! 😊🏃🏻‍♀️

Well done for keeping it up. I’m like you, I’ve surprised myself at how well I’ve done. I’m on week 7 run 2 tomorrow and there’s no way I’m not going to finish this 😁 Best of luck with week 9 and graduation.

Congratulations JaniceG68 on almost completing C25K, yes some people are really surprised when you tell them that you have started running or are you still running.

Good luck for your graduation run.

Well done ! It's a great feeling of accomplishment no matter what week you're on, when you do something you didn't think you could.

So close to the finish line !
