Graduation!

Just completed the final run of week 9. Can not believe how far I’ve come in such a short time. Last night in preparation for the final run I emailed Dermot OLeary who’s doing the morning show on Radio 2 and does Super Hero shout outs, I emailed in for a shout out whilst on the run for motivation explaining it was my C25K final run. Not really expecting to get one I was 25 minutes into the run when he started to read out my email...just as Laura kicked in telling me it was my final 5 minutes! Totally missed it! I rewound the show on my 5 minute walk at the end so heard my Super Hero shout out, great feeling. Very proud of myself!

Very well done on your graduation run - doesn’t that feel grand?

(And yes I know all about beetroot faces - I still get mine after a run 2 years in! But am proud of it now!)

Do go get your graduation badge (leave a message in response to the pinned post on right hand side) and wear it with pride

Fantastic on the run and the shout-out. Typical for Laura to speak at the wrong time. Go You x
