1 Year Runniversay (2 weeks ago 😂)

[AliHC]

This is a post for all you beautiful people starting out on your C25K journey. Just keep putting one foot in front of the other 😊

This time last year I was starting Week 3 Run 1 😊 and I was full of worry and self doubt 🤗

One year later and with huge thanks to everyone on this forum I have not only run 5k (every time I run) , I have run 10k (90% of the time I run) I have run 4 x Half Marathons & 1 x Full Marathon and I am proud to say I do feel like a proper runner! 😁

I don't worry about what people think, I wear what I like and feel comfortable in, I say hello to other runners & cyclists, I am grateful to each and everyone of you who got me to where I am now!

THANK YOU ❤️

Here's a link to my 1st post 🤣

Well done AliHC, I think you've got no doubts about classing yourself as a proper runner..... I reckon accomplished is much more fitting 👍.

Good luck for many more miles x

Excellent year for you since you started C25K, congratulations on all your runs, any idea how many kilometers you have ran since graduating from C25K, must be well over a thousand, once again congratulations on completing your one year runniversary.

[AliHC Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thank you AlMorr ❤️

You've got me thinking now! I'm going to try and add it up 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Add up all the 5K's, 10k's, 10 miles, half and full marathons, I am sure its a lot. 😊 🏃🏾

Amazing happy anniversary. Well done for keeping it up and running as far as you have, I am taking huge inspiration from you. I am 2 runs from the end of the plan, but not quite at the 5k yet. I plan to keep running and will hit 5k and maybe 10 in the future 🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️🏃🏽‍♀️

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Movegroove]

Thank you Movegroove ❤️

Keep up the good work! If anyone had told me a year ago that I will be able to run a full marathon, I would have died laughing! 🤣🏃🏼‍♀️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Congratulations! I’m pleased that you feel like a proper runner after all those achievements, if you didn’t I dread to think what it would take 🤣

[AliHC Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you UnfitNoMore ❤️

I think you, AlMorr and Buddy34 were amongst the first to comment on my first ever post! So a huge thank you goes out to you all! You guys got me here! xxx

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to AliHC]

It’s the same for me... No way on earth I’d be a runner without a lot of help from my virtual running buddies!

[Issywhizz Graduate]

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Buddy34]

Thank you Buddy34 ❤️

You are pretty amazing too 😍

You have played a huge part in my journey x

[Fifitrixiebell73 Graduate]

Amazing!

Had a read of your 1st post, what a journey!

Like you, I haven't told many people cos I wasnt sure I'd stick it. I'm on week 6 now, wouldn't have believed it myself!

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Fifitrixiebell73]

Keep going Fifitrixiebell73 ❤️

I started to tell people I know after Week 5 😊 I was the best thing I ever did! The support was enormous! Good luck to you x

[Whydothis Graduate]

Thank you so much for this inspiration ! I have read your first one, and it was well timed, as I have w3r1 tomorrow, and the ONLY people who know I am doing any running are you people on here - I daren't mention it to anyone else! I am a walker, but I have always said I wouldn't dream of running - I started because on my early morning walks during lockdown I was seeing people who were clearly less fit than me who were out there running and not caring what people thought. They made me feel like a real wimp - so I signed up and found this wonderful forum. Perhaps by the end of week 3 I might feel able to "admit" I am doing it!

Thank you again - you have made me feel that I really will be able to get there!

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Whydothis]

Thank you Whydothis ❤️

I started telling people I know around about Week 5 and the response was great! Good luck with your journey! Who knows where it will take you! 😃

WHY DO THIS? Because you can! This is for you! Happy running x

[Whydothis Graduate in reply to AliHC]

Thank you! I will report back when I have told someone! 😊

[AliHC Graduate in reply to Whydothis]
