Midsummer days graduation 🎊

[Meepmum]

It must be the mid summer vibes from nearby Stonehenge or a touch of Moomin Midsummer madness but me and the Dog Child graduated tonight🐕🐌🎆🎉

Thanks to everyone who supported us. I am walking towards the lights shining from the podium reflected from those polished medals and breathing the heady aroma of the Brasso fumes emanating from the robes of the High Priestess Old Floss, her trusted acolyte Iannoda and their other apostles, my great teachers in this 9 week Odyssey.

If this chronically unfit, arthritic, bi polar, overweight, (according to the doctor obese), middle aged woman can do it, so could anyone with the support of you, my forum friends and vrbs. Whenever I was worried there was always help, support and advice at all stages and I am sure it will continue all through my running. Thanks so much

[IAmCharliemouse Graduate]

Yay! Well done.

Get up here on the podium and stop sniffing the brasso.

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to IAmCharliemouse]

Congratulations on completing C25K with week 9 run 3 and graduating, love the way you described your graduation run with 'the dog child'.

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message on the June graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators (one of them is Oldfloss who you call "The High Priestess") that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃 😊.

[backintime Graduate]

Woohoo to you and dog child. We need 2 badges there really.

Congratulations (love the heart of smilies)

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to backintime]

Thanks, I'll tell her

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to JaniceG68]

Thank you, I am now getting evangelical about C25K 😉

[Bluepup1 Graduate]

Well done! You’ve done really well! Love the little speech - just wish I could write nice things like that (whenever I’ve tried, whether it’s a card or a post, it always seems to come out ott, so now try to keep to plain & simple) 🤗 x

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to Bluepup1]

Whatever works x

[Lindsey-joy Graduate]

Well done! Huge congratulations! Does it feel brilliant?!

Hoping to climb onto that podium with you later today. Eeek!

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

Keeping a space, good luck 🍀

[Lindsey-joy Graduate in reply to Meepmum]

I'm up!

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to Lindsey-joy]

Brilliant news, shoving my way over to you with virtual champagne 🍾🥂

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Congratulations on completing c25k you must be so pleased well done 😊😊🐶🐶

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

I'm just gonna "keep on runnin' " just like the song says, age related joke the Dog Child doesn't understand 🤔😂

[ChocolateSpaniel Graduate]

Well done!! I also graduated today - it’s an amazing feeling to get this far isn’t it? Can’t believe I actually like running now....!

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to ChocolateSpaniel]

I'm feeling that I need to keep at it and when I hit the elusive sweet pace it feels good,I'm hoping that feeling comes more frequently. Congratulations on your graduation, go the Midsummer class 🎆🌞

[notquiteretired Graduate in reply to ChocolateSpaniel]

congratulations ChocolateSpaniel graduating🙌🏅 well done

[ChocolateSpaniel Graduate in reply to notquiteretired]

Thank you! I have unfortunately developed a sore knee and so I’m a bit worried about running on it. Have rested it for a few days and it’s getting better but not sure whether to run on it yet. Think I overstretched it on my last run ☹️. I’ve been injury free all through C25K until now. Too much beginner’s enthusiasm for my last run I think!!

[notquiteretired Graduate in reply to ChocolateSpaniel]

🤣🤣 that would be the brasso fumes causing your excessive enthusiasm, hope you better soon😊🤞

[notquiteretired Graduate]

well done Meepmum congratulations graduating🙌🏅, its amazing that brasso aroma for guiding you over the victors line onto the podium🤣

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to notquiteretired]

Looking into bulk buying for us all 😋 congratulations on graduation 🏅🎉👏

I just did my first consolidation run shorter but faster, didn't start til 9.45pm, measured my time with radio 4 podcast, worked ok

[ButtercupKid Graduate]

Yay ! Massive congrats to both of you 🥇🥇⭐️⭐️⭐️

[Meepmum Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Thanks Butter, still feeling chuffed, but back out tonight, scared to lose momentum 🏃‍♀️🙁

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Meepmum]

That’s the way ! Keep going and you’ll soon find the right routine for you x

[notquiteretired Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

thanks ButtercupKid

[MuddledGardener Graduate]

How did I miss this post??? Congratulations! You must be feeling on top of the world! 🎉🎉🎉

[Meepmum Graduate]

Thanks 😘 Feeling chuffed and so is the Dog child. Her twin has started wk 1 today so she will be trying to catch up but I have told her about rest days being important. Just need to get her older brother running and I'll have brainwashed the full set 🤣
