Woo hoo! You're going to feel great during your final C25K run. I almost said your final run but it won't be! This is just the beginning! Rest up and relax into it - most of all - enjoy. You've done well πŸ˜‰

Even on your last run it still won't feel real! A week later my daughter and I are still saying to each other 'can you believe we did it' 🀣 So exciting, enjoy your last run πŸ˜ƒ

Well done AliceinThePalace, you’ve come this far. That run is done now and in the past. Look forward to your graduation run now and don’t think about how your previous one has gone. Every day is different and you’ll be so excited at reaching w9 R3 you’ll be on a high. Lots of runs ahead to get it right. The main thing is to enjoy it and be proud of what you’ve achieved. Good luck and let us know how it goes.πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ»

Well done! Almost everyone runs a bit faster than they should on those last few runs, so they actually seem harder than they are. There is that urge to get close to, or even exceed, the magic 5Km in 30 minutes - very few manage it. But all you have to do to Graduate is run for 30 minutes, as slow as you like! Don't forget to raise your arms when you cut the tape...

Well done Alice. I completed my penultimate run last night too! Also struggled in first 5-10 mins but managed to push through and had covered a little more distance at the end. Good luck on your Graduation run. Have planned mine for tomorrow morning, let's graduate together!!

Well done Alice. I'm with you hun. Did run2 of Wk9 yesterday also. I slowed down to a walk a couple of times, really wanted to stop. Our graduation is just one run away, I'm so excited. Let's do this girl and shout from the rooftops that we can honestly say we ARE now officially runners. Whoop whoop πŸ™ŒπŸ‘πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Hi AITP,

So the run 3 is looming :)

It will be a absolutely fantastic .

You will embrace each step, niggle , breath , bead of sweat , sound , smile and even the rain .

It may be a bitter sweet ending - your be so excited and hopefully dance or jump around shouting β€œYES I DID IT β€œ and, as you walk home you may feel you have come to the end .

But, it’s the beginning :) your consolidation runs will provide you with the magic of - yes πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ.

I look forward to your next post -🌟🐾

Well done AITP, enjoy your graduation run, we’ll be cheering you over that finish line, you’ve done fantastic πŸ₯³
