Chuffed to bits! At the beginning (and sometimes in the middle) of this program, I didn't think I'd ever get to the end. But I just did and I am so proud of myself!

I graduated! Woohoo!

BIG smile on my face right now...

A massive thank you to every one here, you've all been a big part of this journey with me and I so look forward to continuing it with you 😊

Brilliant Illtryanythingonce πŸ‘Feels good, doesn't it!Well done on getting to the end. Or is that merely the end of the beginning of a rather longer journey.....

Will you be doing some consolidation to do now as well? Best of luck with you next steps.

Thank you 😊 it feels great!

It's definitely the beginning of a longer journey 😁 my plan is consolidation for a few weeks, while completing a challenge for Ukraine.

I have my eye on a couple of other virtual challenges too, thinking maybe they'll keep me on track with keeping consistent!

What are your plans now?

I think the next item on the list is to make sure I am completely comfortable with doing 30 mins and also try some new routes. I am hoping that I will now have a bit more confidence to go to some new places locally - perhaps along the River Thames or The Ridgeway.

Good luck with your challenge for Ukraine. This is a great cause.

Great plan! I'm hoping that getting comfortable with the 30min running distance will bring me confidence running out and about too! Still feel a bit of a lemon πŸ‹

Many congratulations- that’s such a great achievement. πŸ˜„πŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ€Έβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘Lots of good advice given already… I just want to add that I made myself a new playlist of favourite music and tried some new routes, (or variations on familiar routes) to make the consolidation weeks feel new, fresh & exciting.

Enjoy the next part of your running adventure.πŸ˜„

Thank you Elfe5 😊 the fresh playlist is a good idea... to be honest I only started listening to music in week 7/8 and it made a massive difference! Although sometimes I finally myself losing my running rhythm and running to the music πŸ™„πŸ˜„
