I have completely mistimed this!

[ClutchingAtStraws]

I run every Monday, Wednesday and Friday evening after work and take a 2 day break over the weekend. I like to be regimented about these things. It must be an OCD thing! 🙂 Anyway, I went out this evening and did my Week 8 Run 1 (it was hard work!). So by my reckoning that means my graduation run will be on Christmas day! Well that's not going to happen! 🤣 I will just have to go out Boxing day or the day after!

Congratulations on almost completing C25K, when I was doing C25K my running days were also Monday, Wednesday but Saturday not Friday, certainly you don't need to run on Christmas Day or Boxing Day, you can run your graduation run on the 27th December which is a Sunday, which day you choose I wish you good luck for your graduation run 🏃🏾.

I used to do the same, very regimented. Now I look ahead at weather, work and daylight hours. Flexibility is a good thing. Don't stress if you take an extra few days. Good luck x

[Frizzbomb67 Graduate]

Just go out when you can. No pressure! Graduating will still feel wonderful!

[ClutchingAtStraws Graduate]

Thanks for the responses. I was only joking. I just thought it was funny that I had managed to time it so the graduation run would have fallen on Christmas day. Being a creature of habit I like to follow the routine. I will just have to go against my instincts on this occasion! 🤣🤣🤣

There is nothing better than a run on Christmas Day............. what's the problem?

[ClutchingAtStraws Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

The fact that I will be weighed down with a huge Christmas meal! 😁

[IannodaTruffe Mentor in reply to ClutchingAtStraws]

At 7am in the morning?

[ClutchingAtStraws Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

😲😲😲😴🥱

[Kish247 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

IannodaTruffe - 7am? Why so late? 😄

[B1GK9 Graduate in reply to IannodaTruffe]

I am with you IannodaTruffe. I plan to go for a run on Christmas Day and as is my want will be about 6:30am. I am a Christmas grinch and will cherish my alone time run before facing the onslaught of traditions I don’t really understand

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to B1GK9]

I plan to do a Christmas morning (not) parkrun! Nothing better than staying Christmas Day with a run 🏃🏽‍♀️ 🎄

How’s fantastic it would be to graduate on Xmas day!

[Rennur Graduate]

An extra day off during these longer runs might just be the best Boxing Day treat for your legs. Weather here on today and Wednesday forecast is poor so I'm shifting my runs one day. I don't mind the rain. If it was forecast for the whole week then I'd go out, but if it is nicer the next day then that's what I'll do. I know what you mean though, as new runners we don't want to get out of this healthy habit! Look forward to hearing of your progress.

I am in South London near Surrey borders. We are just going in to tier 3 so Christmas will be less busy than originally intended. Maybe that Christmas day run wont be out of the question!

[Hidden]

I always run on Christmas day! Its my present to myself👍😀👍

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

We usually have parkrun on Xmas day. I’ll miss it this year but I’ll still run 🏃🏽‍♀️

[Hidden in reply to Tasha99]

This year of all years, I will be thanking my lucky stars that I CAN run 👍

[Jools2020 Graduate]

I think it would be perfect to graduate on Christmas Day! You’ll enjoy your Christmas dinner so much more!

[Hanzy Graduate]

I run same says, I have graduated, currently doing a challenge through lady runners over 50 and my last run is Christmas day, but I run at 6.00 am so I will be doing this should venice and quiet,no people going to work or buses to splash me if wet, by late aft you may be ready to escape the house for a run play it by ear. Good luck

[Peter44 Graduate]

I was just like you, run on mon/wed/fri, then 2 days rest, mix it up a bit more now, my son says he'll cook the xmas dinner, so looking forward to a xmas morning run, and like others have said, to graduate on xmas day, would be great!!! ☺

[Littleoyellow Graduate]

You're nearly there- great going- enjoy the feeling of achievement after your graduation run, whenever it happens 😁👍
