Well, I am sitting here, hot, sweaty, and completely buzzing!! I just finished c25k and It feels good :) I didn't find it as hard as the previous 2 runs but I did make sure I ran mostly on the flat or down hill (cheat)! I'm afraid I didn't have enough energy for a victory lap so I just "wooped" quietly to myself . I am so happy to have done this and I'm not going to stop now, You can't get rid of me that easily ;) My reward is a tattoo! Right now it's off to the shower for me!!!! HURRAH!!!!! :) :) :):) :) xxxx

woo hoo! Congratulations! you must be so chuffed! It's been great reading your posts and seeing all the highs and lows you've faced - and how you've ended on a complete high!

And it's amazing that you have caught the running bug too - I'm looking forward to being in your position in the next few weeks!

PS. great idea about your reward - I'm a fan of the ink myself so I might do the same hehe - any plans on what you might get?

well done again!! :)
