Week 8 in the bag, now for week 9 and graduation!

Graduation is so close now I can touch it! Just those three 30 minute runs left, which I hope to complete by this time next week.

Never thought I'd feel this good about something; I can't wait for my next run. Is this normal? Or am I just riding a wave of enthusiasm that will fade with time?

It is a wonderful achievement and once you obtain your bright and shiny badge, it may be wise to set a new goal to keep you motivated. I have a way to go yet before I graduate but I am already thinking about the possibilities of progressing to 10k. I think I have caught the running bug!

I've started thinking about goals post graduation. Not sure about 10k, but certainly speeding up my 5k so I can get below 30 minutes (which I don't think I'm going to do by then end of week 9, but you never know).

You could take a look at Stepping Stone, Stamina and Speed which, to my knowledge, are still with Laura. You could also consider various 5K events such as park runs. The choice is yours and it seems as though there is plenty of choice. Enjoy your graduation week. Good luck and best wishes.
