Feeling quite proud if I’m honest!

Well I have just signed up to the forum, even though I have been doing the c25k for 7 weeks. I just felt like I needed a bit of a boost and also see what others were feeling around the 8 week mark. Never would I have thought I would run for 5 minutes, let alone 25 minutes. Yet I did it, I completed w7r3 today. And I enjoyed it! So yes, I am proud of myself... And I wanted to share this sense of achievement with others. You go through good runs and bad runs all through the program. But at the end of the day, we are all achieving something big and we should all be proud. Bring on w8!

You should be proud! Look how far you’ve come in just 7 weeks 👀. This forum is a great way to celebrate and moan (depending on your run) and you will always get someone to cheer with you or commiserate and pick you up. Well done. Keep going - you’re nearly there.

Well done! The fact you're using the word "enjoy" is a big big plus so you are well on your way to the end of it ( which ends up just being the beginning 😁 )

Well done on your success on C25K - it’s awesome! 👏👏👏👏💕

This forum is amazing! I found it Week 5 but I wish I had found it earlier!

Such a lovely lot, hints, tips and support in bucketloads! I could not have done it without them... Our very own little running family

Oh and we do have giggles too!..... and speaking of giggles...

you might want to edit your post .. I read you’ve signed up to the bog 😳 🤣

Week 8 here you come! And 2 weeks left to graduation! How amazing are you! 👍😀

🤣🤣🤣 count me in! Muddy and messy!

Too much information here but I’m telling you anyway.... I never go out for my run without a trip to the loo and I’m always worried (especially now the runs are ramping up) that I will need the loo 🚽 🤣

Where I live that word is slang for toilet! 🤣

Oh my goodness!!!!! Thanks for noticing :-) There is my first giggle :-) Might leave it as is as can't even see how to edit. And it will most probably bring more laughs...
