With a twist of tension and a touch of excitement I finally completed w9r3 this afternoon. I don’t know how, but I knew I would do it. Even with competition from the alcohol sweats, following a pre-birthday lunch with my ladies yesterday, I did indeed trot along for 30 mins, fairly comfortably.
I then proceeded to grin at anyone crazy enough to look in my direction, as if somehow they could tell I had just graduated in my running programme.
And as well as everyone on this forum giving tips and advice carrying me through my aches and pains, I also had super buds helping to carry me psychologically though it, mostly in the form of JAZZYRUNNER🤩 and CHOOSINGHAPPY 🤩. My dearest Runettes it’s been a pleasure, hopefully one we will continue with, for the many runs to come. 🙏🙏.
And in case you missed it, I am now a graduate 🎓🥂🥳

Wahooooooo!!! Well done my friend, you’re a star!!! (Especially pushing through competition from alcohol sweats! 😆) I knew you’d do it and have been sending good vibes all day - did you feel them coming through the ether?! 😁
Congratulations, yes indeed you are now a graduate 🎓
To get your graduation 🎓 badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message on the September graduation 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 🎓 🏃 😊
Isn't C25k wonderful. Well done for completing the program. That fixed grin is crazy isnt it, we all have it after Wk9 Running is excellent for mind and body, and you can do it when and where you want, how you want. A liberating thing to be able to do.
That’s very true Zev1963! Funny thing is I haven’t been particularly enjoying it lately just getting on with it. Then this morning I woke up thinking ‘when am I running next?’ Lol 😁😂😁
A massive well done and you can simply enjoy the freedom of the run now. No.limits, no timing, no stress of will I make it. Onwards and you did it. Happy days
It’s actually my cat. She’s very fluffy with slim legs so she looks like she’s got big puffy pants on, and her name’s Margo. Her brother Jerry is the George Clooney of cats!
You’ll have to let us know when you run the full 5K. It took me ages and my PB is 36.47. Of course you could be doing it already - so all hail you if you are! 😊😊😊
Well done, running without walking is a hell of an achievement. I'm on WK 7 run 2 tonight and set myself a target of 5 October for Park run. Wish me luck. 😀
