Well, I've done it for a second time. But it makes it all the better graduating on my 50th Birthday! I sneakily did 5k to add to this momentous occasion.

I also got the amazing hat to ensure I do not get wet on my runs!!!

I would like to thank you all for your support and guidance throughout, this is the number 1 place for support. I cannot think of a better place online.

LastBlaster , Thanks for keeping me honest, it was good to have a run buddy and compare notes.

QuadroVEINia , 1 more week to go and you've got this!!!

I am now off to eat cake!

Honestly, it was the same for me having someone to keep me honest. Happy Birthday, welcome to your 50's! I've been here a few months, it's not all bad! Most of all, well done. Consolidation from next week though, so enjoy the weekend!

And, you inspired me to do 5k tomorrow as well. Clearly it won't be in the allotted time, but I'll run through cooldown and just cooldown after. Must install something like Strava.. though I think I used to have it already.

πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ Really proud of you mate! Fantastic achievement (twice!) and you continue to inspire me and others I’m pretty sure.... hope I get to join you on the graduation podium soon. Loving the hat, have an extra big slice, you’ve definitely earned it! Many happy returns on reaching your big 50, the best years to come yet! Bask in glory this long weekend and β€˜job’ well done!! Top man! 😁
