I’ve done it!!!!!!!!

W9R3 πŸŽ‰

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 πŸ™πŸ»

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 πŸ‘ŒπŸ»

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

If you’re here and are new to this programme, please do keep going. Keep moving, how ever slow you need to go. β€˜The only way you can fail is by going back to the couch, and staying there’ πŸ™πŸ»

I’ve found the Bridge to 10k forum. See you over there πŸ˜ƒπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈ

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.

β€’ in reply toIannodaTruffe

Fellow runner πŸ˜† Thanks Iannoda, so much more to learn...starting with reading your research on the 10% rule! πŸ™πŸ»

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.

Thank you Oldgirlruns πŸ™πŸ» I’m looking forward to this next part of my running. I’ve seen that those consolidation runs are important, so they’re next πŸ‘πŸ»

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

I know what Ben is like too πŸ˜…

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

β€’ in reply to

10k would have sounded impossible before I found this plan πŸ˜‚

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

Nope πŸ˜‚ I actually can’t even stomach the thought of bacon now πŸ™Š

β€’ in reply to

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 πŸ€”πŸ˜‚

β€’ in reply to

πŸ˜†

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

Bacon shmacon 🀒

β€’ in reply to

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 πŸ”οΈπŸ”οΈ

Mmmm bacon 🀀

β€’ in reply to

I read that there’s a 1 in 7 chance of a view...πŸ‘€ Not doing that 6 more times to test it out πŸ˜‚

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

πŸ₯“ nope πŸ‘Ž

β€’ in reply to

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 πŸ˜…

❀️πŸ₯“πŸ³β€οΈ

β€’ in reply to

What if there is no view..it could be a myth πŸ€” πŸ˜‚

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 πŸ™ƒ

β€’ in reply to

I never thought if that πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I'd say it might have made the news too, imagine that πŸ˜…πŸ˜…
