Three cheers for that lady..............no, no, no.........four cheers.....at least!!
It has been a huge pleasure following your journey, Annie.
Your positive attitude, application and tireless support for others have kept me smiling.............it is why I am still here six years after graduation.
I suspect you have already checked out the guide to post C25K running linked to by GoGo_JoJo
Now have we got any badges left........... been a bit of a rush on them this weekend...................aaaaaah, yes.............. Annieapple
That badge is well deserved.
Keep running, keep smiling.
🤣 I would never have done it without your gentle expertise. Remember all my muddle ups over Static & Dynamic 🤣🤣 My mother said you are never to old to learn... she was sure right!
You put in the hard work.......it is your success!
Congratulations Annie! 🥳
So pleased for you. Xxx

I am off to Canada next week to visit my son so will be running at a different altitude too!! Should be a challenge for this granny!!🤣 Thanks!!

CandyCoolGraduate
Many congratulations Annie. 🏃🏼♀️🏆🥇It’s such a fabulous feeling isn’t it. And keep that positive attitude and you will be amazed at what you could do!
Two years ago this month I started the C25K as another new thing in my 60th birthday year. Yesterday I ran (jogged, hobbled, stumbled) with over 20,000 people around my first half marathon. And believe me the excitement and pride of getting over that finish line was unbelievable.
So don’t stop at 5 there is the most amazing world out there!!
Wow Carol! You are inspiring!! Thanks for this encouragement & motivation!
Onwards and upwards!
You did it! Lovely! Massive congratulations to you!
Don’t forget to consolidate! Xxx
Maybe try a parkrun?
Thanks!! 👍 will do!! Hoping to try a park run after my Canada adventure 🇨🇦
You will love it x

in reply to Annieapple
Enjoy them. I did my second yesterday. I ran along the beach and was running head on into a northerly wind on my way back. So-I walked for 5 of my 30 minutes and it felt good that there was no internal dialogue about sticking to the plan 🏃🏽♀️😃
Freedom to just enjoy!! 😀
Well done Annie.
Keep on keeping on.

I will!! Thank you! 😄

Congratulations! That’s brilliant, well done you 🎓👏😀
Thanks so much! Hope that shoulder pain is easing. 😫Being patient with fractures is never easy but at least they do get better with time! With all those squats you will be super fit!! 🤣
Thanks, went for an X-ray last week, 3 1/2 weeks in & still no change but at least it’s not worse. Still for once I’m managing to catch up on the programmes that I’ve taped on tv.
When I see your user name it reminds me of teaching mine & my minded children to read using ‘Letterland’. My boys were munching Mike & ticking Tom which they annoyingly changed to ticking tess, happy days. You’ve probably no idea what I’m talking about 😂😂😂
🤣 handwriting songs 🍏

Thank you for all your support! It’s wonderful to be doing my first consolidation run tomorrow. Looking forward to it immensely. I so love this forum. It’s so positive and helpful to everyone no matter what! Hope your toe has recovered! Xx
It really is a great forum and lovely to share our running friends achievements, my toe is healing slowly thanks it’s just part of very thin skin we are busy all week so will be running on Friday, birthday celebrations for family and working strange shifts mean no running or next couple of days

Oh WOW, congratulations.... what an achievement and you seem to be soooo enjoying your running .... awesome stuff 🎉👏🎉👏🎉👏🎉🏃♀️
Aah thanks SO much!! Hope your runs are going better at the moment. Xx
Thank you Annieapple, I'm building up my strength and stamina still and this week on holiday and enjoying my joffling around beautiful Suffolk countryside, so different views and terrain which is exciting. Knees are holding up, so I might just try picking up W7:R3 later this week and see how it goes. I'm confident I'll get to graduation at some point, soon'ish. Hope you have a fab trip to Canada.
CouchfunkyGraduate
Annieapple a massive well done to you. You’ve been a great inspiration to me and I’m sure lots of other people. Where will you go from here? I’m still a week behind you but I frequently think of you and mummytum when I’m on my runs. I’ve really enjoyed your posts. I’ve never been on a forum before. What a great community 🏃♀️ 💕 😊 🎉 🎊 🏅
Thank you SO much. You will catch us quickly! I have just been on my first post grad run. I am doing 3 consolidation runs aiming for 5k in 30 mins. I graduated on 4.3k I didn’t use Jo today just Strava & my music! Xx
