Finished week 9 on Friday, woohoo! Going out to do 5k Sport Relief this afternoon. Can't believe I'm actually typing that and that running 5k has become part of my normal conversations with people! Bizarre. Looking forward to checking out the 5k+ podcasts, but in the meantime, how do I get that little graduate thing that people have next to their name, its important to me!

Well done! You go on the link at the side that says graduation badges and tell them you have done it and they put it on for you. Good luck with your run today! I am doing race for life in July. Never thought I would be saying that either! x

Yes, thanks! Well whatever passes as full fitness for me! Can do 5k, (I think, if I've measured it properly!) in just over 35 mins, so feeling pretty pleased with myself xx

thx! Feeling a bit nervous, even though I know I can run 5K. Think its because I always run on my own at 6am, so this running with loads of other people is freaking me out a bit. Plus its raining, boo!

I did go! but only 3.6 k had bad headache thought that might make it shift it but made it worse :( But did do my 2nd fastest 1k! too fed up with head to worry about what legs were doing! Did write a post yesterday but on the edit all but 1st too lines disappeared again! Have told admin!! So gave up... hope you're doing ok, i will try again tomorrow!
