I DID IT!!

[Brixcos]

It was already hot when I went out at 6.45 this morning with my new playlist, my new shorts, and huge determination. I deviated from my normal route, which was a nice change and included what even my ex-triathlon partner agrees is a bit of a hill. I was glad to hear Denise announce the halfway point (why does the bell go significantly earlier than her announcement? 🤔) and gritted my teeth for the final 15 mins. The bit I like best is when I finish a run, it's such a great feeling and I felt particularly fab today of course - I had a huge grin on my tomato coloured face!

I prefer running in cooler weather 😳🤣

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

A happy runner! Love it! A HUGE well done to you. One if the best bits of this? This is just the beginning!

Amd just in case you didn't know, tomato red is the new in-shade for runners!

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thanks oldfloss! And I hear you are a fellow fan of Runderwear, is that right?

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Brixcos]

Absolutely!!! Love it!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Ah yes I may have tagged you in saying that you recommended Runderwear 😉

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jell6]

That is fine..I am a huge fan..! Seam free, chafe free!!

[Jell6 Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I found some on sale, I might give them a try!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Jell6]

They are great .

[Liono Graduate]

Yay! Just the news I was hoping for this morning! Huge congratulations, you look so happy (and not at all red compared to how I've been in this hot weather!) How are you going to celebrate?

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Liono]

Oh what a lovely reply! The tomato colour really licked in when I went indoors...

To celebrate, we just had coffee at our favourite place - with a blueberry friand - and Mark is taking me out to dinner tonight to celebrate before we go to a concert (that was already booked, so not part of the celebrations!)

I am being treated big time!! I think it's particularly poignant as I was recovering from a heart bypass this time last year so I will just lap up the glory!!

[Liono Graduate in reply to Brixcos]

That sounds like a perfect day and so well deserved. He must be very proud of you. Enjoy!

[Frenc Graduate]

Fab fab fab Brixcos ! That’s a great achievement 🤩. Well done! 🏆🏆🏆🏆🏆

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Frenc]

[RosesAreRed777 Graduate]

Very well done. I’m not far behind. Had to take a few days off as it’s 30 degrees even at 7am but cooling down tomorrow. Enjoy the feeling!

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to RosesAreRed777]

Sounds sensible. The heat is a real challenge. I look forward to seeing your graduation post soon! Go us!!

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations to you Brixcos on graduating from C25K, well done, you should be very proud of yourself 😊 🏃🏾 🎓.

[Me_time Graduate]

Congratulations Brixcos 👏👏🥳 I dont see any tomato colour, just a super duper proud face. Well done!

[Birra1 Graduate]

Hi there, well done for graduating. I remember being one week ahead of you on an earlier post. I should have finished a week ago, but got back last night from 2 weeks visiting my children in Italy . It was much too hot for me to run there, so unfortunately I am not at the finishing line yet.I went for a 5k walk this morning and will start the run again tomorrow. Think I will do a 20 min one and see how I get on before jumping into week 9 run 1.

So pleased for you! Well done !!!!!

[Brixcos Graduate in reply to Birra1]

Thank you! Yes I can imagine Italy was far too hot to run, and it's much better to pick it up again now you're back. I look forward to you joining me on the podium before long!

[Veevee22 Graduate]
