Finally made 5K 🎉🏃‍♀️😀 (consolidation run 13)

[Ginny57]

Like so many others I didn’t make the 5K at week 9 run 3. I’ve steadily plodded along though at my own snail pace 🐌 and finally made it after 12 consolidation runs. Couldn’t be more chuffed. So to all those who are a bit dispirited at the end of C25K, keep going even the tortoises get there in the end 🐢😀

Congratulations 👏🎉🎉🥳.

I'm kind of taking the same approach. I just did consolidation run 7 reaching 4.6k in 40.35min which I'm happy with considering I couldn't run for toffee 12 weeks ago.

Happy running🏃‍♀️😃

Thank you! You’re doing great 👍 I’ll never win any speed medals but I’m so thrilled just to be actually running. Feels good doesn’t it 😀

[Birdlady64 Graduate in reply to Ginny57]

Yes so good!

[WildSoul Graduate]

I just graduated yesterday and still have quite a bit to go to reach 5k, but determined to crack that goal. I have my moments where I beat myself up for being slow, but try to remind myself that running for 30 mins is a huge achievement regardless of speed! Especially considering where I started.

Congratulations on achieving the 5k, hope to join you there in the next few weeks! 😋

Congratulations on graduating 🎉🏃‍♀️🏆. I will never be a fast runner but as long as we are getting out there and enjoying it then we are winners! 🏆🏃‍♀️🏅. Good luck with your consolidation 😊

Well done! I know what it is like to keep striving for the elusive 5k, but it is great to finally get there! Remember a tortoise's 5k is just as far as a hare's 😊.

[Ginny57 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Good point! 😀 I’m much more motivated by the distance rather than the time. 😊
