Woooohooo!!! W9R3

[Nymahchai]

What more can I say!!! Could not have done this without your support, encouragement and words of advice. From gait analysis, to proper running shoes, to Japanese slow running, to belly breathing, to all round cheering me on - it’s happened. 😁. You are the best!!!

Who would have thought when I started this journey that I would ever be able to run non stop for 30 minutes and several times too - no fluke!!!

I have the biggest grin and now need to work out how I go forward. I am thinking more speed to get more distance as I need to reach 5K! 🙏🙏🙏👏👏👏Thank you all!!!

[Buddy34 Graduate]

Congratulations on completing c25k you must be so pleased 😊😊👏👏👏👏👏👏

[Dowat Graduate]

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Dowat]

Oh yes I’ll enjoy it thank you 😊!

[RunningMigster Graduate]

🥂🍾🥂

Massive congratulations!!!

It's been a real pleasure watching you progressing through the program.

You should be so proud of yourself, as I'm sure we all are too.

That's it now, you dont need the voices in your head anymore!

Now for the brand new challenge of hitting 5k.

But first of all, enjoy that wonderful feeling you've got now

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

Thank you so much Mig !! You have kept me amused and encouraged in equal measure!

I am proud of this and when I told Mr Nymahchai that I’d finished the programme he announced we need to open a bottle of fizz tonight- oh yes !!!

As to voices, I think I still need Michael. It’ll be Groundhog Day of Week9 for a while 🤣. So onwards towards 5K...

I’ll raise a glass 🍾to you tonight . Slàinte!!!! 😁😁😁

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

I was very naughty and put a quality bottle of champers in the fridge the week before I graduated. I think we're worth it arent we? 😉

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

🤣I like your style. I was slow off the mark and did chill a bottle of Bolly but ended up slurping an open Sancerre!! There’s always tomorrow 😉.

[RunningMigster Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

And tomorrow is the start of the celebration weekend!!!

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to RunningMigster]

Oh yaaay and that Bolly is calling 🤣🍾Roll on weekend!! Oh and maybe a run 🏃‍♀️

Woohoo 🙌🏽 well done! You did it !🙂

You know what this means? You’re now a seasoned runner so come rain or shine you will be out there 😂

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Sham19]

I know! It’s so addictive.. who would have known!

[Sham19 in reply to Nymahchai]

We don’t till it suddenly creeps up on us and we’re addicted 😂

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Sham19]

😂 I didn’t until my son said to me after a run, it’s addictive isn’t it??? I used to be bemused when he leapt out the door around 6.30 am! 👍

[Wenderwoo Graduate]

Woohoohoo!! Brilliant, many congratulations and you should be very proud of yourself 🏆👍😁🍾🥂

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Wenderwoo]

I’m still in shock! Spoke to my son tonight who ran with me in December but is on IC currently. That’s tough given my age 😂

[apatsyf Graduate]

HooraaaaaaaY! 🤗👏😄🤩🎊🏆🥇🧨🎉. Well done Nymajchai, enjoy that fizz, you've earned it for sure. Another bottle maybe waiting for when you run that 5K! 🍾🥂. Keep posting and telling us how it's going. 🏃‍♀️

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to apatsyf]

Thank you for being there and encouraging me! Yes I’ve got my eye on that 5K now. 😂🍾🏃‍♀️. It seems reachable now as my distance is increasing even in this last run. On holiday next week so that’s a new challenge of venue!!

[Jerichomile Graduate]

💐👏brilliant! Well done ...you’re a runner now for sure. Congratulations

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Jerichomile]

🤣Still in denial really! Well I’ve got the shoes and the badge so I must be and thank you for cheering! Why didn’t I do this f***y years ago!!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

C25K did not exist 50 years ago, neither did parkruns exist 50 years ago, many people, including myself did not run for 50 years until they started C25K, so you are not alone on starting to run now.

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

🤣🤣🤣So true and running was not considered “a thing” apart from those wiry men who did fell running. Am glad I am not alone !!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

Go to Wikipedia and type in Parkrun, it tells you all about how parkruns began.

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you 😊. I must explore it. Amazingly I have a ParkRun turning point at the start of my running circuits so I am so close!! I have seen them but they all seemed super fit and scary!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

Parkruns are for everyone, not just the superfit who go to the likes of the London Marathon or the Great South or North Run, you don't get dogs or people pushing prams at those runs, unlike parkruns where there are many people who have dogs running with them and also pushing prams and buggies.

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I love the sound of that- the inclusivity is just fab. Maybe I can borrow my granddaughter when I am ready!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

👍

[Redvic97 Graduate]

Congratulations. Enjoy the celebrations 🎉🍾

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Redvic97]

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Annieapple]

It has been quite a journey! And considering I started in October, I am still amazing I lasted the course!!! Thank you 😊 for your support / it is the best uplift ever! I have my eye on 5 K now 😂😁

[Annieapple Administrator Graduate in reply to Nymahchai]

[Nymahchai Graduate in reply to Annieapple]
