Woohoo I did it at last!

[Workingathome]

I’ve graduated! 😄😄😄

I started right at the beginning of lockdown to give myself a challenge, get me out of the house and keep me sane while working from home and I had hoped to graduate in May but an injured knee at Week 9 put paid to that. Since getting back into it I didn’t think I’d feel elated when I completed Week 9 as I didn’t have the same build up but I was wrong, I feel fan-flipping-tastic!!

Thank you to everyone who has supported me, I know it’s been said before by many but the support on here really is fabulous and really has kept me going when I’ve struggled to get motivated. I’m so glad that I’m now a runner 😄 now give me my badge cos I’ve finally earned it 😂

Advice to those just starting out - keep it slow, keep it steady, but most of all keep it up!

[Workingathome Graduate in reply to Thismumcanrun74]

Aw thanks 😊 yes I’m sooo happy to have finally graduated 😄

How are you doing? Have you got new goals?

[Thismumcanrun74 Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

Amazing!! I’m so happy for you. No not for a while now. Like you I was told I had a torn cartilage, had the steroid injection and sent for an MRI. Turns out i have a stress fracture. So I am in a leg brace for the next month at least. Consultant said no running for 3 months. Signed up for my first 10k tomorrow after running 8km. Not going to happen 😞

[Workingathome Graduate in reply to Thismumcanrun74]

Oh no! I really feel for you 😣 do you know how it happened? Rest up and look after yourself, don’t try to do too much too soon and Please set yourself a reminder in your phone to start again at the end of September and we’ll all still be here ready to cheer you on! X

[Thismumcanrun74 Graduate in reply to Workingathome]

Think it’s something to do with my bone density. I’m happy to try C25k again though. Thank you. I will be back to it. I’m more depressed about no running than my knee 😂😂
