Congratulations to you Bluetortoise on completing C25K with week 9 run 3 and graduating, well done. Calm down a little and get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE πŸŽ“ next to your username by going to the June graduate post in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated πŸŽ“ πŸƒ 😊
