The Penultimate Run

[Labshack]

W9R2 Just one more and I get my badge

Well when I started this I wrote each run on my calendar so I had to complete them .... well bank holiday I missed (it was raining) so I've been a day out since then

So Wednesday is my graduation run ... gonna have to plan what to wear, what route to do make sure everything is my favourite ... geeezz what'll I do next I wonder ... My plan is to do park run on Sat mornings, do my trail run Sun afternoon and my road run on a Wed evening after work until I decide what to do next.

Yey Shelley - what fantastic progress! Best wishes for your graduation run. So much to plan - finding your lucky socks, making sure your gadgets are charged. Wait!! where did I put my shoes? Oh no the top I was going to wear is in the wash... But it will all be worth it when you're doing the stride-of-pride on Wednesday. Do tell us all about it! Will the dogs graduate, too?

I'm pleased that you're going to start Park Run: it's great!

[Labshack Graduate in reply to MarkyD]

Hey MarkyD

I am actually a planning engineer so everything will be in place ready! Stride of Pride .... Ohhhhh I will think of that as I do that last stride

I will tell you all about it of course (after I've applied for my badge of course)

The dog(s) won't be graduating no, 1 is too old to run with me, 1 is too young to run with me and Lulu has done a few I've left her running lead at my Moms ...doh!! She has posted it on but won't get it for Wednesday

Am hoping to do Newbury on Saturday :0

Good luck! I will be on w9r3 on Wednesday too!

Hey Clara

Will be crossing that finishing line and we will hear the virtual WWWWWOOOOHHHHOOOO's Do you have a Graduation dance planned or you gonna go home a Whoop in silence ... not sure which way I'll go yet but one thing is for sure there will be one heck of a smile on my face

[Clara29 Graduate in reply to Labshack]

I will probably cross it as I do normally, with a huge phwaaaawwww of relief that I am allowed to stop staggering on like some sort of asthmatic elderly hippo! ( perhaps I will be wwwwhhhhhhooooing just a tiny bit inside though!)

I have struggled and am never going to be an athlete, but the sense of achievement has been amazing. I am determined to KEEP GOING!

Good luck with yours!

We'll be there with the pom poms, bunting and frolic. Go Lab, go Lab! Yeeehah!

Planning Engineer ey! Ha! Planning my foot! I couldn't plan my way out of a paper bag. I find that my best laid plans always end in tatters and my getting hellishly frustrated.

I planned my weekend run to a tee. Sadly, things started to go wrong from the off when my mp3 player gave out a horrible staccato beep. Yikes! My earoles were seared! Wrong shoes, wrong route. Pah! My face must have been a picture. Contorted with fury. What a sight. So, I think I'll give up this planning caper and just go with the flow. 'appen it's best

I envy people who can plan and succeed. The more meddling I do the worse it gets

It can't just be me can it? I wonder if it runs in families. Hmmmm ?
