Phew - made it to the end

[Richard7]

That's my run 3 of week 9 all done. The weather was kind to me and I managed to get back out to my usual place for my run.

It was beautiful, not a breeze to be had.

Whilst I had the benefit of having done this before some runs have still been a challenge. It's been refreshing to share here again and to get back outside again, thank you to those who have wished me well on my journey 👍😃 - for those that I have shared this journey with again keep going you know you can do it don't give up

For myself C25K has been so helpful in getting me back to regular outdoor running again, now to keep it up.

Happy Running Everyone, Happy Christmas

(The picture above is an old medal that my wife just gave me as she found it the other day)

Fantastic! Well done on completing C25K again!! Here's to lots of happy running in the New Year now you're back in the swing of it

[Richard7 Graduate in reply to Yesletsgo]

Thanks YLG ... Got to get through next week first 😉 ... Already working out which days I can go for a run without upsetting everyone 😃

[Yesletsgo Administrator in reply to Richard7]

Tell everyone you'll be going out Christmas morning... nobody will argue 😂

Well done Richard, all the very best with your future running plans

[Richard7 Graduate in reply to Gentlydoesnt]

Thanks GD and are you on week 8 or 9 now? Whichever it is go for it 👍😃

[Gentlydoesnt Graduate in reply to Richard7]

Fantastic news Richard,

Congratulations on your Re-Graduation run. That medal is very well deserved.

🏅Here is one from me too 👌⭐️As you know I am a few runs behind you, but probably won't make the podium until the New Year is in. You will still be out running, and watching out for my efforts I'm sure.

Merry Christmas to you and your family, and thank you for supporting me as I 're-do' the plan too...

🎄🎉🎉🎉 Happy dance for you tonight.

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Congratulations Richard7 , what a brilliant thing to do just before Christmas, and how lovely for your wife to pass you a medal to celebrate.

[Richard7 Graduate in reply to Dexy5]

Thanks Dexy - I hadn't planned it that way but when I checked the calendar I was pleased with the way it worked out. I have been very lucky with the weather just the one day where I took to the gym. I had expected more ice!! 😃
