I was really tired this morning and didn't get out until 7-15 am and found it very warm. I felt a bit nauseous too but carried on regardless. I didn't get quite as far today before the halfway mark but that's not surprising as I was going a bit slower due to the warm weather and general tiredness.
I think I went a bit faster on the second half and felt so good getting home. When I walked into the kitchen, my hubby (who is on a day off from work) stood there and clapped and I just burst into tears. It's made me really emotional to know what I've achieved in the past 9 weeks. I'm so proud of myself, not only for completing it but for doing it without having to repeat any of the runs and I really thought I would struggle to do that.
It is amazing what you can do when you set your mind to it.
A huge thank you to everyone on here who has helped motivate me, support me and generally cheer me on throughout this programme. You are all amazing!
REMEMBER - IF I CAN DO IT, YOU CAN DO IT TOO!
[By the way, I tried to upload a photo but it kept saying "Whoops! Looks like there was a problem uploading your image". I've no idea why this happened. The photo was within size limits. Hey ho.]

Post your achievement in the thread and the admins will award you with your shiny virtual graduation badge that will appear next to your name and you will find plenty of ideas for post C25k.
Congratulations my new found running friend 🎉🎉🎉 I got quite choked when you said your husband clapped - how lovely 😊 onwards and upwards now Pigpog 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
Thanks, PollyGray ! I know, I got very choked myself and could easily cry again if I think of it. How lovely to have such great support on here and making new friends too. It's fab! 😁
Congratulations on completing run 3 of week 9 and graduating from C25K, well done, 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 June graduate post and tell the administrators that you have ran W9R3 of C25K and graduated 🎓 🏃🏾
Awww fantastic! 👏💪 I felt quite choked reading this too 😊 a huge well done to ya. Enjoy the feeling of achievement you've so earned it esp after everything you went through with your Achilles!
Congratulations! Really well done. Savour that feeling of achievement through the next few weeks while you’re ‘consolidating’ because it will keep you positive and focussed. And I know I’ve said it already but congratulations 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thank you, PlasticUnitedFan ! Glad I improved your day. I guess I am a runner now, although I still refer to myself as the jogging snail 🐌🐌🐌🤣🤣🤣
YESSSSSSS!!!!! Get in there! Fantastic effort. How good does that feel ehh? Enjoy today, then maybe think about the 30min runs, sorry, consolidation runs (don’t want the description police on here to pull me again!). I’m through them now & running around 45mins hassle free now. You’ve got all that to look forward too! Well done again. Enjoy the celebrations. x
Don't worry, nowster , I'm not planning or able to run for longer than 30 minutes. I don't want to get any injuries so I'll be taking it very slowly, trust me! With my history of ruptured Achilles, shortened calf muscle and tight hamstring in my left leg, I'll be going very gingerly. I'm not in any rush to run for longer until I feel very comfortable doing 30 minutes. And I should think that will be quite a few weeks if not months! Thank you for your concern 😁
I also have tight hamstrings, especially in left leg, which resulted in my recent muscle pull on the other leg when I was doing a long run. I was advised by a physio to get a foam roller.
