Graduate!!!

[123gogo]

Yay! I did it! I completed the program and what's even better, is that I ENJOYED the program, the challenge, the success, the support. And I did it all without any injury! Needless to say, I am chuffed, a bit peacockish...

I had 10 days off before today's run...circumstances didn't make it possible to run during the last 10 days- so today I took it easier than ever. However....a few minutes into running and the podcast stopped and I couldn't get it going again. So I just noted the time and ran for another 30 minutes. I probably went over the 30 minutes total but I wanted to be sure that I wasn't doing less. It was actually nice not having headphones on. I felt a bit lighter even though my phone was still in my pocket. But I took in the birds and the water and the trees in bloom. I ran my regular route but finished with a bit of a hill that left me red for a long time afterwards!!

Anyhow, just want to say thank you to all for your support during these last couple of months. It's been crucial. And deeply appreciated.

When I started this program, it was for the challenge and I didn't really plan on continuing running. But surprise, I like running and so am planning to carry on with it....consolidation for a few weeks and then maybe the after program....I'll play around with it a bit.

That's it. Thanks again. I must get back to strutting.....

Strut away 123gogo - you’ve earned it! Congratulations on your graduation, I’m so glad you’ve decided you enjoy it and plan to carry on - you’ll be welcome to join us over on the bridge when you’re ready. There’s plenty of help and ideas there to help you plan what to do next!

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Oldgirlruns]

Thank you. Yes, I plan to check out the bridge once I've got a few weeks in of solid, consolidation runs. For me, the community support was crucial to me completing this program; I'm not sure I would have done without it and I think I will find the same support 'over on the bridge'.

😊

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Vespina]

happy to strut but really, the journey is just beginning!

😊 thanks for the support.

[Vespina Graduate in reply to 123gogo]

It definitely is but I’m all about celebrating success along the way. Here’s to many more happy miles.

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Vespina]

You are right. We should never ignore our successes and we should always find time to celebrate them !! Thanks for the reminder to be kinder to myself and accept the credit for something well done.

[CBDB Graduate]

Woohoo! And running without the podcast is doubly ‘woohoo’! I was well into my consolidation before I dated run ‘naked’ without Laura in my ear!

Huge congrats! 🎉👏🙌🎊👏🎉

[123gogo Graduate in reply to CBDB]

😊 Thank you. It certainly feels different running without the headphones. As much as I've enjoyed and appreciated Laura, running without her feels freer...I like it ! Happy running to you !

Strut away - you deserve it

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Well if I keep strutting much longer, I'll start to grow feathers..😅

[Kjb04 Graduate]

Well done! It’s an amazing feeling, enjoy!

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Kjb04]

Yes, it does feel pretty amazing. A big jump in confidence and pride! Thank you.

[00marks Graduate]

Congratulations on completing C25K!

[123gogo Graduate in reply to 00marks]

Thank you. I'm not sure that I would have done it without the support of this community. It certainly would have been less enjoyable.

[Hidden]

Fantastic result. Congratulations. Very impressive.

[123gogo Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you...now looking foward to getting in some good, solid consolidation runs. That's the next challenge.
