.....and Iโ€™m there! Iโ€™ve graduated! Iโ€™ve completed the programme.

Whilst not 5km in 30m (thatโ€™s at 36mins at the moment) I have achieved in other ways:

- Ran every single one of the 27 runs.

- Never had to stop on any of them.

- Never skipped a run day.

- Not yet been injured (have tried to look after myself). - Have lost 9lb without even trying too hard

- It has kept me going through a few difficult weeks (my Dad has been diagnosed with Leukemia)

- Iโ€™ve inspired friends

- I shall be supporting my wonderful sister -Emma944- on her C25k journey now. She is on Wk3R3. Please say Hi to her.

- I ran 6.2km on Friday

- I can run 5km in 37m

- I had a PB of 7โ€™09km for 1km this morning

- I get up earlier

- My mental health has improved

It just goes to show what you can achieve if you put your mind to it! Above all else, thanks to this wonderfully inspiring, supportive and non-judgemental community.

Great work NFF, thatโ€™s brilliant! I think youโ€™ve covered all the things that keep us going through our runs - so many achievements to be proud of๐Ÿ‘

People donโ€™t necessarily think of the mental health benefits, but theyโ€™re real and make such a difference to our lives.๐Ÿ˜Š

Congratulations!๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘
