No egg&bacon sandwiches were consumed in the making of this graduation run today 😂

I’ve done it!!!!!!!!

W9R3 🎉

I am so amazingly proud of myself and my sometimes (on her bike) running buddy/daughter.

We’ve had the most fantastic time bonding over this programme and I hope I’m building a legacy of keeping going and trying your best 🙏🏻

I started this programme on 20th July for personal reasons (that’s on another of my posts if you’re interested) and it’s benefited me more than I ever dreamed possible ❤️

I’ve achieved something as a single person and know now that I can do anything 👌🏻

It started raining 10 minutes into the run and I said to my daughter ‘it rained the whole 4 hours it took me to get back down Ben Nevis’!!! I think that put things into perspective for her 😂

If you’re here and are new to this programme, please do keep going. Keep moving, how ever slow you need to go. ‘The only way you can fail is by going back to the couch, and staying there’ 🙏🏻

I’ve found the Bridge to 10k forum. See you over there 😃🏃🏽‍♀️

Thank you 🙏🏻It’s a very happy experience 😃

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

This guide to post C25K running may be helpful healthunlocked.com/couchto5...

Many make the mistake of thinking that by doing C25K, all they will learn is how to run.............as you have found it gives so much more.

[Hidden in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Fellow runner 😆 Thanks Iannoda, so much more to learn...starting with reading your research on the 10% rule! 🙏🏻

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to Hidden]

Yep, anybody who thinks they know all about running cos they did it at school, has to revise their ideas once you get to this level.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations to you cpfiona on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, lovely photo of you and your daughter,

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate]

[Hidden in reply to GoGo_JoJo]

Thanks GoGo 🙏🏻 (reminds me of something me and my daughter have said since she was tiny-‘let’s gogo go see go’!).

[GoGo_JoJo Graduate in reply to Hidden]

🤣🤣 love it! I could have GoGo go see Jo! 👍🏻💕

[Vicjo Graduate]

[Oldgirlruns Graduate]

Congratulations cpfiona and running buddy! What a fantastic achievement after a rotten year. But enjoy your consolidation runs and whatever comes afterwards - so many things to look forward to! Happy running.👏👏👏🏆

[Hidden in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you Oldgirlruns 🙏🏻 I’m looking forward to this next part of my running. I’ve seen that those consolidation runs are important, so they’re next 👍🏻

[Hidden]

Brilliant and congratulations to you, the 10k awaits you 😊

I know what Ben is like too 😅

Where you tempted to have a bacon and egg sarnie afterwards? 😏

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

10k would have sounded impossible before I found this plan 😂

Ah, bright sunshine at the bottom-2 hats, gloves, full waterproofs at the top 😳 I definitely don’t need to see Ben again!

Nope 😂 I actually can’t even stomach the thought of bacon now 🙊

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

Nothing is going to stop you now 😁

I love Ben and I'd definitely love to go again..

So you have managed to put yourself off bacon? I never thought such a thing would be possible 🤔😂

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

😆

Given the choice, I’d go as far as the Red Burn again 💦 On a nice, clear, sunny day! (It was a bit boring after the Burn 😂).

Bacon shmacon 🤢

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I'd go all the way to the top, each time I went before it was either snowing to much or it was to cloudy, I want to see the view from the top 🏔️🏔️

Mmmm bacon 🤤

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I read that there’s a 1 in 7 chance of a view...👀 Not doing that 6 more times to test it out 😂

Scafell Pike was still covered in snow and ice-I got stuck going up Mickledore chimney. Luckily, two mountain rescue guys were strolling by 🏔

🥓 nope 👎

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

1 in 7 erm I'll probably try one more time and thats it 😁

Well that was I but jammy, did you do the lotto that day too 😅

❤️🥓🍳❤️

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

What if there is no view..it could be a myth 🤔 😂

I know! All I was worried about was having to be rescued by helicopter and it being all over Facebook 😱😳

Dayum, no I didn’t 🙃

[Hidden in reply to Hidden]

I never thought if that 😂😂

I'd say it might have made the news too, imagine that 😅😅

[FatterPenguin Graduate]

Well done CPFiona! What a brilliant example for your daughter too and what a lovely thing to do together. 😊

[Hidden in reply to FatterPenguin]

Ah, thank you 🙏🏻

[Pinkhoodie Graduate]

Congratulations cpfiona and your running buddy.

I graduated with my son and I honestly doubt I’d have done it without him.

[Hidden in reply to Pinkhoodie]

Thank you 🙏🏻

They are a great motivator/distraction aren’t they 🥰

[Supermeisty]

Congratulations! I am about to start week 3 and I find your post really inspirational. I will take your advice and keep going, once again congrats on getting to 30 minutes of running

[Hidden in reply to Supermeisty]

Ah, well done for completing the first 2 weeks. I found the longer/5 minute runs easier to do than the shorter ones at the beginning 👍🏻

I’m happy to have inspired you 🙏🏻❤️

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

Congratulations you both look so happy

[Hidden in reply to SueAppleRun]

Thank you 🙏🏻It was an amazingly happy time 🥰

[SueAppleRun Graduate in reply to Hidden]

My grandson sometimes runs with us and the enthusiasm of the young is great isn’t it?

[primaballerina]

Hip hip hurray! Well done!!!

[Hidden in reply to primaballerina]

😆 thank you 🙏🏻
