Congratulations new Graduate!!! Claim that badge ASAP and hang around to spur on newbies who aren't around at this time of night LOL. Do you have any plans to stick with running after your inevitable celebrations? Lots of luck anyway ... I believe there are a fair few of us who will be joining you in a couple of weeks......GO the C25Kers :D :D

Are there more coming along in the running club?

in reply togreenlegs

There are, but some have had a few set backs, injuries, false starts etc. Gerry is the leader of a soon to be successful pack, fingers crossed. :D

Hi green legs, I seem to have finished first as a lot of the others have had some injuries which has set them back. i think we have a week 5, a 4 and a 3 and the rest have all been running for longer. I'm lays at the back but hopefully i will speed up with time :)

Someone at work has just restarted doing c25k, so she can speed up, which I thought was an interesting way of going about it. Maybe one day we'll go out and run at lunchtime, but not having showers makes it a bit less practical, especially now it's warmed up a bit.
