W9R3 completed... I’ve graduated 😁🎉

[Helzbels]

Wow! What an experience this has been. It’s taken me a little longer than 9 weeks, due to a foot injury, but, I now know I can achieve something that feels like a massive challenge & enjoy it. Ok, there were a few moments of “I can’t do this”, but I actually could do it & got to the finishing line! Which in week one seemed like an eternity away😃! I’ve got to say C25K has been one of the best things I’ve done. For those of you at the beginning g of C25K, don’t give up... it actually does get easier as the weeks go on and you do become a runner!

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

[Helzbels Graduate in reply to Skeg]

Thank you so much. Looking forward to the consolidation runs! Feeling great 🤣

[Jazzyrunner Graduate]

Ahh congratulations! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Well done, enjoy the triumph! 🏃🏼‍♀️💫

I also have to say it’s encouraged me reading your post as I’ve currently got a (very minor but troubling) ankle issue and I’ve been fretting, so it’s good to see you’ve completed after getting over a foot injury 👍🏻

[Helzbels Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

Aw, thank you 😊. I’m so happy I got to the end! Sorry to hear about your ankle injury, hope it eases soon for you. I got a foot injury just over a month ago. It’s still a bit nightly, but the rest definitely helped and a couple of ice packs😊! Rest your able and don’t worry if you have a few bad runs, just start again after a couple of rest days and go slow!

Good luck with the rest of your journey - you can do it😁!

[Jazzyrunner Graduate in reply to Helzbels]

Thank you for that, I will get back to it in a couple of days I hope! 🤞🏻

[Helzbels Graduate in reply to Jazzyrunner]

You will! Keep me posted 😊

Well done. I'm currently on week 2. I. Going through the whole "how on earth am I going to do 5k 🤣 nice to hear you had moments like this to. Thanks for sharing 😊 let's hope I get to post about my graduation in 8 weeks 🙃

[Helzbels Graduate in reply to Purplepops]

Hey! Thank you! Oh, I had lots of those moments... week one was painful lol and I kept trying to master the art of running and breathing. I don’t think I actually mastered the art of breathing properly until the end of week 5 🤣. You can do this, keep going! X

[Purplepops in reply to Helzbels]

Amazing stuff. Something to be proud of 😀
