3rd Runniversary

[AlMorr]

Today 18th April in 2018 I ran, run 1 of week 1 of C25K, since then I have ran 17 official Parkruns and 44 (not) parkruns, at least another 20 other 5K to 8K runs, 10/10Ks, a few 11K to 14K runs and one 10 miles run, it's been a great 3 years, also as this Healthunlocked C25K/B210K and Marathon Forums are the best Social Media Sites on the Internet I am very proud to be a member of it.

[Running-rings Graduate]

An inspirational read for someone starting out on their running journey! Hats off to you!👏🎩

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Running-rings]

Yes Running rings, I hope I have inspired people to start C25K, thank you 😀 🏃🏾 👍

[Tasha99 Graduate]

That’s fantastic al! We started at a similar time. Happy runniversary to you 🍾👌🏽

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

Life changing moves!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Tasha99]

PS, there were so many that started C25K in 2018 that they are now called "the class of 2018"

[Tasha99 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Oooh I like that!

[SueAppleRun Graduate]

[Jericho2332 Graduate]

Happy runiversary AlMorr 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Thanks Jericho2332, I meant to repeat run 1 of week 1 of C25K this morning but instead went a 10K walk to add my distance to the COGH Challenge. 😊 🚶

[Jericho2332 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I went on a 19k bike ride and failed to add to the COGH 🤦🏼‍♂️🤣

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Jericho2332]

Update June 2021, COGH is now over but cycling was NOT counted in it.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Frizzbomb67]

Thanks Frizzbomb67, I might get the new 25 running a official Parkrun T Shirt, not so sure regarding the 50 or 100 T shirt 👚 if they counted my 17 official Parkruns and the 44 (not) parkruns which are 61 altogether I wound now have the red 50 parkrun T Shirt.

Thanks Jools2020, I suppose I should be very proud of myself 👍🏃🏾

[Jools2020 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Indeed you should! And what isn’t listed is how helpful and supportive you are to other members of the forum. I’m sure I’m not the only one who would like to thank you for that. 😊 Thank you, Al!

[Birdlady64 Graduate]

A lovely post. I enjoyed reading that very much. And you are right about these forums.

Thank you for your support and encouragement. It's my one year runniversary coming up and I hope I will have achieved half as much as you in another 2years time AlMorr

I just need to get off the IC first!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Birdlady64]

Thanks Birdlady64, I hope it won't be too long before you can run again and get off the IC, good luck for your first year runniversary, perhaps by that day you can run again.

[Judybni Graduate]

Wow that's amazing. Any tips?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Judybni]

Any tips, the running mantra for C25K is slow and steady, you should take all your runs slowly, if you are doing C25K, good luck 🤞.

[Judybni Graduate]

Certainly am doing the slow bit lol.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Judybni]

👍

[Decker]

Happy runniversary AmMorr!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Decker]

Thanks Decker🏃🏾👍

[C25Kate]

Happy Runniversary! Very inspirational, congratulations 🥳☺️

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to C25Kate]

Thank you very much C25Kate, you have a good username, I could have called myself C25AlMorr but that does not ryhme like your username does.

[Sandie1961 Graduate]

Happy runniversary Al. I started on 23rd April 3 years ago so am just 5 days behind you. It really has changed our lives hasn’t it?

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sandie1961]

Indeed Sandie1961, there were many runners here that began C25K in 2018, happy runniversary to you on 23rd April that's next Friday.

[Sandie1961 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Al. Just deciding how to celebrate, given that I still want to do (not) parkrun on Saturday 🤔

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Sandie1961]

You can do not parkrun any day of the week, 7 runs are the maximum, there is a runner on my parkrun site who has ran 77 not parkruns, she averages 3 a week.

[Sandie1961 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

I know but I like to stick to Saturday because that is the real parkrun day. The others just feel like any old 5k!

[Indielass00 Graduate]

Happy 3 years! Also fab achievements along the way. Agreed this forum is great 😀👍🏻

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Indielass00]

Thanks Indielass00 👍🏃🏾

Thanks BradC👍😀🏃🏾

[Hidden]

Congratulations Al. A landmark day indeed with lots of wonderful running milestones to celebrate as well. You are a great support to us all on the forum, something of a legend I think 🤔 😊. Xx

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you Delly dot, those 3 years I have enjoyed, trying to think up something to celebrate the third year of graduatiing in June, perhaps a second 10 miles run or even HM, not too sure about that. 😊 🏃🏾

[nowster Graduate]

Well done for keeping on keeping on. Long may your toes have spring to them. 👍

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to nowster]

Ha nowster, my toes do have a spring in them, helped by those Hilly socks I wear when out doing longer walks and shorter runs, it is important for walkers to have proper walking boots and runners to have proper running shoes and socks to match.

[Irish-John Graduate]

You are pure gold Al. Congratulations on your Runaversary and so very glad you are a Forum Pal

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Congratulations on your 3rd runniversary Alan you’re amazing! 🥳

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Thank you Lexi6, I hope you are keeping well and still running 🏃🏾.

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Yes thanks Alan, life’s been pretty busy here preparing my late parents house (which a family member had been living in) for sale, lots of gardening and maintenance needed doing, so I’m now looking forward to a much more relaxed life once the sale is finalised. Yes, still running and although I haven’t posted on here yet managed to run 10 miles yesterday and I’m another 2018 graduate, 3 years on Thursday since I graduated 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

Congratulations on completing that 10 miles run yesterday, I have only ran one 10 miles run, that was last year, perhaps for my 3rd graduation anniversary on the 18th June I might run my second 10 miles run or even run a HM, that is a big might 👍🏃🏾😊

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Thanks Alan, that would be so special you running another 10 miles or even an HM I don’t doubt you will 👍😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to lexi6]

At this moment, just after 10am I am on a train to the coast, when I get there I will go for a 5K walk, the weather is dry with a little sunshine. 😊

[lexi6 Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

That sounds lovely Alan and perfect Spring weather. Have a great walk😊

[Kingfishers Graduate]

So inspiring to read. It sounds as if you’ve had such fun. Thank you for sharing. It’s so very encouraging. I’ve never run. I did W8R2 this morning . Thank you again. Wishing you a lovely evening.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Kingfishers]

Thanks Kingfishers, fun, most of the runs have been fun, not all, especially the recent ones in February when I was struggling though ice and snow with my sore right leg and had to walk a good part of it in a time of 55.06, otherwise, most of my running have been fun, I am having a lovely evening, Monday evening is the one evening I have a fish supper, earlier today I took a train journey to the coast and walked 5K.

[Kingfishers Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Your reply made me chuckle-I only realise the fun when Michael J says “you’ve done it. Keep walking. Don’t stop moving.”

Up to that point I’m still seeking the fun.

Sounds like a fabulous day had. Coastal Train Ride sounds wonderful. A walk and a fish supper as evening draws to an end. Stay blessed.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Kingfishers]

👍 🏃🏾

[Frenc Graduate]

AlMorr! Happy Runniversary 😊. Your kind words of encouragement have kept me motivated many a time - you are one of the people who make this such a great forum. Did you run today? 🎉🎉🎉

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to Frenc]

Nice to know that I have motivated you with my posts here on C25K, I agree that this is a great forum, today I took a trip on the train to the coast and had a 5K walk, I intend to run 8K this Wednesday.

[9weeks2Run Graduate]

[9weeks2Run Graduate]

You really should Al it is wonderful and you are very inspiring.

Lol sorry I have emoji craziness. No more emoji!!

👍

[Run46 Graduate]

Wonderful Al, congrats, what a fabulous 3 years you've had, it truly is life changing isn't it 🏃‍♂️🏃‍♀️

And you're right about these forums, it's been around 3 years for me too with one difference...in the 1st year I did it alone and was only at 23 mins with a couple of short walk breaks and just couldn't figure out how to progress from there, then I joined HU and boy how things changed!

As we now know and have advised many others I was simply going too fast, and probably not hydrating well.

It's simple with a little help and support from all our lovely HU running friends 😊

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

I couldn't agree more with you Run46 regarding this forum and how HU has helped so many people to run C25K, slow running is the answer, slow and steady as in this forum, I have indeed had 3 fabulous years of running, I hope you are also enjoying your runs, thanks for congratulating me regarding my wonderful 3rd running anniversary on starting the course of C25K.
