I started in May and had to do week 3 twice and week 9 twice but here I am, big smile on my face.... I completed the training.

I remember starting and struggling with 60 second runs .... and every interval run for the first weeks seemed like a major achievement, the best feeling ever every time I made it and was running here on the site to tell you about it. I remember dreading running 5' and then 8' seemed impossible, and then the famous 20' which I secretly thought would never happen.

I remember the pains in my legs, my knees, my calves at the beginning, as my body adjusted, which are now a distant memory.

I am so proud of myself if I may say so.

Thank you for all the support, encouragement, and great advice given here.

Now... where do I get my badge? :D
