Starting week nine

[Nicky2603]

Good morning

Never thought I would make it here. Starting week nine this week. I feel almost sad only one week left.

I know, I did W8R2 last night and there's an odd mix of sadness and triumph at seeing how few runs are left. I have started making sneaky visits to the consolidation posts to see what might come next...

Where do you find them and what are they? I have got the running bug I am enjoying it even the hard days.

Never feel sad because it’s not the end. It’s the start of the next bit of your adventure. Enjoy it. You’re doing great.

That’s a great way to look at it. What consolidation runs? I have seen people posting about them?

I know when I started this I struggled to run for three minutes. Well done you. It’s made me feel better about myself and more confident. I have never been on a forum before either 💪

Think of being on C25K as being like taking a subject at high school. There's a structured curriculum and an objective at the end. On leaving high school, you've got less structure and you have freedom to explore the subject your own way and at your own pace.

Some will choose a new structure and targets (like going to college or university). Some will just do their own thing.

What a fabulous analogy. I shall remember that when I get that far...
