Hi all, it's taken over a year...with a fractured pelvis and fractured ankle (on separate occasions) getting in the way but I've done it.... In fact just to be sure, I repeated week 9 in that the first 3 X 30 mins were tough....but I did 3 X 40 mins on the repeat... just to prove to myself that "I CAN do this". I am definitely going to continue... My 40 mins took me to 3.4k...so I now have the challenge of getting to 5 k....and then ...the moon!!

Is this the right place to request my badge???

Congratulations on completing C25K and graduating, well done, it's not a case of Fly me to the Moon but in your case Run me to the Moon, it is the correct place to get your graduation badge and the word GRADUATE next to your username, it is there NOW, congratulations.

Don't push it too much too soon. You don't want to get a season ticket to your local hospital! Don't be too hard on yourself, you graduated last week. This was your first Consolidation week. Have you read of the 10% rule. It's a rule of thumb, not a hard and fast running "law."

Congrats on graduation.

Thanks - if I can do this... then most can too! I never was a runner but I think I am / could be/ now. It's a rest day for me, and it's rubbish weather, but I'll be heading out again tomorrow - consolidation stuff!
