Tomorrow will be my final run

Tomorrow will be my final 5k 9wr3. I started the c25k program on August 18th. It took about 12 weeks to complete the 9 week program. The second week was excruciatingly painful, felt like I couldn't finish it. The second week is very tough, I have shin splints, which forced me to stop exercising for two-three weeks. To recover from shin splints, I changed my shoes and ran in the grass from week 3 to week 6. So excited for my last run and to graduate. Never thought I would accomplish this.

Enjoy your graduation run ! Remember , reaching 5k is not a requirement for graduation , this is purely a time based program.

Distance is irrelevant .

You are required (it’s the law) to post after your final run. Look forward to hearing from you 👍

Congratulatiobs @sksuman, but unless you just hate running this isn't the end. It's just the beginning!
