Graduated with honors! Whoop Whoop, I did it.

[stephenc78]

Well what can I say, I did it, 9 weeks ago I didnt think i would stick to, never run for 30 mins none stop. I remember all those years ago at school, I would shy away in the corner when I thought I was doing cross country in P.E. can I call myself a runner, well Laura thinks so. I know this is just a proving ground, I can do not only 30 mins, but I can do 5k as well. Next week is a whole new start, set new goals, and continue to challenge myself. Oh just so you guys know during these 9 weeks I managed to shift almost 2 stone. Can I please have my badge, I should of graduated last night, but hey had to do weekly shop, my gorgeous wife insisted.

[AliB1 Graduate]

wow, graduation, 30 mins and 5k! Well done, what an achievement

[Dansmum Graduate]

Very well done you, it's great to hear from people graduating, gives me hope it will be me one day, though I know I won't get the 30 mins and 5k at the same time and can only dream of 2 stone weight loss!!!!

Look forward to seeing how you get on for the future, well done again!

[cimer Graduate]

Fantastic, you have done so well! And 2 stone, wow! What great achievements Starting week 9 today myself, hope I'll be with you as a graduate soon!

[magster Graduate]

[Greg_M Graduate]

A huge achievement all round, well done!

[ShoutingWoman Graduate]

Well done on graduating. It's a great feeling, isn't it ? And losing 2 stone in 9 weeks is brilliant. You must be feeling so proud of yourself and rightly so !

[stephenc78 Graduate in reply to ShoutingWoman]

I do feel rather chuffed with myself, I just keep thinking back to the first podcast I did. I thought that was challenging, there will be more blogs to come. Thank you

[Anonymous36 Graduate]

Awww well done! I love to hear this stuff

Message admin JR21 for your shiny new badge

[gypsydepp Graduate]

Well done on graduating and doing 5k!

And 2 stone.

Surely thats not just down to running? What eating program are you following?

[stephenc78 Graduate in reply to gypsydepp]

I haven't really been doing a diet. Porridge for breakfast, sandwich for lunch, and a normal tea. One thing I have done is cut down on dcaffeine, drink lots of water. And if I fancy a tipple, I will have a glass of vino tinto or a whiskey and ginger. More importantly I never skip a meal

[BTX4 Graduate]

Really well done.

2 stone! That is amazing. You must feel great.

What a lovely guy too calling your wife gorgeous. We could do with more of that couldn't we ladies??

[stephenc78 Graduate in reply to BTX4]

I do try to be the best hubby and father I can be, thank you for your comment. I do feel amazing, would like to trim down a bit more, and must do an official 5k race, and then increase my runs, the buzz I get is amazing.

[stephenc78 Graduate]

I have tried to reply to your nice comments, cannot get them to send. How long does it generally take to get that shiny badge.

[BTX4 Graduate]

I'm not sure what has happened to the admin chap JR21 but worth sending him a message. Go to community through the links at the top and then admins. He should pick it up though.

Try a park run if there is one near you. They are fun and very encouraging.

Have fun!
