Just finished my graduation run, nothing fancy or spectacular (it was still 28 degrees at 06:00 here so stayed indoors), just me and an empty gym. Didn't stop after the 30 minutes and managed another 10 mins so pretty sure there's a lot more I can achieve. I'm also gobsmacked at how quickly my HR returns to normal compared to 1 week ago.
Thanks to this forum for making it doable.
Good luck to all those graduating soon and those just starting out - I'm not sure I'm addicted to running yet but I definitely don't fear it and feel good after doing it, so we'll see where I take it next.

As I've just written in another comment though, be careful about doing too much too soon. Try not to increase your running time/distance by more than 10% in a week. I'd advise dropping back to 30 or 35 minutes (the latter being a generous 10% increase on 30 mins) and then building up gradually from there.
I'm sure there's lots more you can achieve - have a few comfortable runs and then work out what you want to do to keep your motivation going.
Well done on your achievement and getting fitter, I am sure you have accumulated more than 9 weeks of benefit for you 9 weeks of effort. Enjoy the rest of your day.
