Boom! Well there we have it π
Who knew that I would go from struggling to run for just 1 minute to completing this wonderful programme in 9 short weeks? So chuffed!
Thanks to everyone in this brilliant community for all your advice and words of encouragement. I really donβt think I could have done it without you. Merci!
Now for a celebratory gin and tonic ππΌ
Well Done!! Enjoy the gin, you deserve it ππͺπ
Thank you. Iβm buzzing π
Make it a double you deserve it π Well done!
Haha okay I will! Looks like we are graduating twins π
Indeed we are -feels good but still aching from 8am this morning! Challenge now is to keep it going πββοΈ
It is! What are your plans?
I think I am going to continue for a few weeks on 30mins then look to switch up between slowly increasing the time and doing shorter faster runs.
Congratulations on your graduation, fellow runner.

Yay!
That's fantastic! Well done - you must feel so proud! You totally earned that gin! ππββοΈ
Thank you π
Congratulations π₯³
You deserve to celebrate your achievement. I canβt wait until Iβm in the same position next week. Have you thought about where you go from here? There are some great charity runs available if you need a little motivation to keep going. Iβm going to take a few days off when I graduate then go onto the 50 mile in a month challenge for Alzheimerβs Research UK. I know the thought of doing it for a charity that is close to my heart will spur me on.
Well done and keep going ππ½
Thank you so much. That cause is close to my heart too. I will look into it. Thanks for the heads up. For now Iβm going to repeat Week 9 for a few weeks I reckon
Congratulations!
Well done! That's amazing and enjoy your Gin x

Well done you ! Congrats !
Im running tonight ...my final one and I will graduate yipee. π€
I have run in the evenings ..between 8.30 amd 9pm and have felt good then...very little people about and cool. I think i need to overcome my fear of being seen so once in consolidation i may do 8 pm and then..week on week run half n hr earlier. Dont know why that concerns me but i sort of like my privacy
Week 9 Run 3 :-) :-) :-) :-)
