Final run 9/3

It took me nearly 3x as long to finish c25k as prescribed but I did it. I started in April and ran 9/3 today. After failing to see it through few years ago I'm happy that this time I had enough determination (aided by discovery of hypertension) to push all the way despite many setbacks and repetitions. Next goal - 5k in under 30mins.

Well done on completing c25k, a great achievement. Build your distance over the next few months and I'm sure your 5k pace will improve towards your 30min 5k target👍🏻
