Graduation Day

[gypsydepp]

Thanks to everyone who left comments on my Graduation Eve post last night.

Well, I've only gone and done it!

Completed the program this morning....and feel flippin' fantastic!

Wore my special new top and despite my usual feelongs at about 12 minutes .....you know the ones "I'm never going to do this, god i feel sick ,can't breath, my legs feel really heavy,etc." decided I WAS going to do it and plastered a grin on my face and thoroughly enjoyed myself!!!

All the dogwalkers, motorists and pedestrians were all clearly thinking "runners are nutters" and I think they are largely right!

I know it's been said many times before and much more eloquently than I could ever express it, but I honestly couldn't have done it without all the support on this site.

Also, have Kept going through difficult runs by remembering some of the advice and laughs given here...so thanks everyone....here's to new podcasts in May!!!!

CONGRATULATIONS!!!

Well done on graduating.

I bet you have the hugest smile on your face, and that'll stay for a long time. What you have achieved is brilliant, be proud, you're now a runner

[Mandragora Graduate]

Congrats!!!

Find a way to celebrate your success

And what are your plans after 52CK? Will you keep the same pattern of 3 runs a week? Please advise.

I've just completed week 6 and I find your post indeed very encouraging

Hi mandragora

Have decided to do week 9 two more times.

Then i am going to do one run a week for 30 minutes: one run a week doing intervals(probably week 2 and 3 but faster on the run parts) and one run a week increasing the time so say 33 minutes, 36 minutes 40 minutes. Then the new podcasts from laura and her chums! Hope that makes sense x
