Well this morning I finally finished this magic programme and honestly I cant quite believe it
9 weeks ago if someone had told me You can do this I would have laughed but somehow i have.
The story......brief version
I am a 52 year old who has for the last 10 years put everyone else first. In Feb my father passed away my husband taken a sabbatical and lockdown loomed. I was left with something which is precious and havnt had and that is time
Lockdown for me came at a good time I had time to grieve and reassess.
i was bullied(in a nice way) by a good friend into c25k. She sent me messages of her singing rocky etc🤣 and I thought go on try
I havnt looked back. I have diligently listened to MJ who has told me I can do this and guess what. I HAVE😁
My reward is I an happier and am looking at life differently and i am fitter than i have ben for years.
So thank you all for your support and advice its been a huge part of this journey which I am just starting.
Oh and i have just bought my first pair of running shoes!
Just believe you can do this! If i can so can you
Ps wine open celebration has begun🍾🏃♀️🥳🎓

Many congratulations, fellow Graduate 👩🎓. It really is an amazing achievement! 🏃♀️🏃♀️🏃♀️👏👏👏👩🎓🥳🎉🍾.
I had Michael, too - it was great while it lasted, but I dumped him as soon as I graduated. We agreed to remain friends 😂, but I don’t miss him. I think I may have been one of many!
I have a similar story to you. My mother passed away in March. It has been a very thought time. I took up running as a away of focusing on something positive.
Congratulations it is a great feeling isn't it? I actually cried when I had done run 1 of week 9. I enjoy repeating my week 9 runs now for the moment I am happy to keep doing them.
I cried run 9/1 too. Couldnt explain it? I am off to the lakes today to bask in the glory(or will it be swim 😂) then back to consolidate on Thursday 🏃♀️
Congratulations! The bit you wrote about your friend singing the Rocky theme made me laugh! That’s just what happened to me! I took up the challenge too but refuse to put that song on my playlist! Well done - you must feel brilliant! X
That’s fab, took a pandemic for me to do it too. So grateful for my health. The challenge now is to continue running whilst back at work . Might need that rocky music again lol 😂
So sorry I’m late, but I’m catching up, been busy with little ones...
