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 .

Graduation within touching distance enjoy the run and the feeling of smug satisfaction and pride. It’s so well deserved

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