Well the badge is, anyway. I couldn't apply for it on Friday, when I did THE run, because I was away on a camp-site with no internet access (hence the sad tale of the awful route). We went on THursday, I ran on Friday before driving to see my Dad, then Saturday (the main reason for the trip) my stepson's wedding, and Sunday an after-wedding party in his mother's garden. Today I did my first post-grad run (on a much better route which I discovered over the weekend) and then we packed up and came home. Work tomorrow and a board meeting... All go :) So - next challenge?? I'm looking for a suitably dated Race for Life, then onwards and upwards to 10K, I think. After all, it's not so long since I thought I couldn't run for 5 minutes!!!

Thank you, everyone - graduates and graduates-to-be (if I can do it, believe me, you can). Watch this space - I might even dare to put a photo up soon.... Next goal - Race for Life; then 10K; after that [perhaps not so] Impossible Dream - London Marathon and Stonehenge to Avebury............
