Graduating run dramas

[Karenlisam]

I was 27 minutes into my w9r3 final run this morning and managed to trip over the pavement and ended up skinning both knees and one elbow .

Got up and ran home for the final three minutes fuelled by embarrassment and adrenaline 🤣 and headed straight into a tea tree bath and the plaster and germoline box

But I DID IT 🏅

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Oh no ! ( Resists the laughing emoji) ,Hope you are ok ?

But congratulations on your graduation 😬👍👏👏👏

Don't forget to claim you Graduate bridge ! 😬

O dear me, all that drama in the last 3 minutes of your graduation run, I just hope it won't affect your future runs.

To get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE 🎓 next to your username leave a message in the pinned posts on the right side of the healthunlocked September graduation C25K home page and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃🏾 👍.

As it happens I had my first fall in 2 years running today... and it was in the last 5 minutes of my run too! I did the same as you and got up and finished the run... but I doubt that I would have two years ago. Nothing can stop you hitting your goals... great job.

Congratulations on graduation, celebrate and heal well. Enjoy some consolidation and all your future running adventures.

[Karenlisam Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Hope you are okay too - I’m shocked that my first thought was can I still finish this run

Perhaps the fact I was on a busy high street and knew the corner away from everyone who saw me hit the ground like a sack of spuds was only a minute away helped 😂

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Karenlisam]

Yeah, I’m fine... dented pride mainly! I fell right in front of a group of teenagers... expecting laughter I was impressed to see them come check I was ok and help me up. My wife was less impressed as while all this was happening my watch sent her an emergency alert that I neglected to cancel. She doesn’t seem as impressed as I am that the system worked for some reason 🤷‍♂️

[Hareshaw-Granny Graduate]

Huge congratulations on your amazing achievement. Well done, especially after falling.🏅🏅⭐️⭐️👏👏👍😁

[Smile23 Graduate]

Well done. I did this on consolidation 1 couldnt believe it🤣🤣🤣still have the bruises!

Congratulations you should be proud blood sweat and tears👏👏👏

[girlsjustwannarun Graduate]

Oh no! Hope you’re okay and not too bruised!

I did the same on W1R2! Last few seconds of the run and tripped over a tree root, I went flying and fell and badly grazed my shin - over 2 months later still have the scar to prove it!!

[Karenlisam Graduate in reply to girlsjustwannarun]

Oh wow - kudos to you . I think I’d have given up if it happened so early on on the plan !

[girlsjustwannarun Graduate in reply to Karenlisam]

Luckily it didn’t hurt too badly, or it might of deterred me!
