I cant believe it, running for 30 mins non stop yet just 9 weeks ago I thought I was going to pass out running 60 seconds😳- anyone doubting themselves and their ability please try the programme as I was soo unfit but now getting better all the time and the support here is amazingπŸ˜ŠπŸ‘

I’m running the graduation run on Sunday (tomorrow) as well! I’ll be thinking of you as I know I’m going to feel elated at the end and will probably have a little dance and scream as I cool down. Which will be shocking for anyone around but I really don’t care! ((:

I did it! I had to leave it until now so little nervous as I wanted to β€˜enjoy’ and I did!!! In fact I am crying like a baby right now, sitting in a field. I was listening to Crowded House all the way and as I finished they sang β€˜Your not the girl you think you are’. Well I blumming well am not and in a more than excellent way ((; Now how on earth do I get my grad badge?

Well Done NQR. or are you now NQG? Soon to put that right.

Thanks for the cheery notes that you passed to me before I reached these dizzy heights, a couple of weeks ago. Certainly helped me. Now it’s you turn. Well done VRB!

Really enjoy that last run of this series.

Then it’s time for the FAQ Posts of Iannoda Truffe to come out again.

Consolidation first. Then C25K what next?
