Well, what can I say, I smashed week 9 day 3 and feel fantastic that I have completed the program. Had a mini graduation, did not have the correct equipment, but my daughters gown for when she dyes my hair stepped up as my gown, my Team GB baseball cap stepped up as my motar board, and the T Shirt I won on a few days away at Park Resorts for winning a quiz seemed a fitting top hehe. I think I look less red on the left hand picture just as I was walking out of the gym than I did at my ceremony hehe
I ran at 7.5 kmph for the first 20 mins, stepped up to 7.7 for the next 5 mins, 8.5 for the next 4 and wacked it up to 9 for the last 30 seconds. Really proud of myself especially as you can see I am neither young or slim, but I was determined to see the program out and look forward to going on and doing some more.
Thank you all for your positive encouragement you are all a great bunch of people on this site.... right off to apply for my real graduation badge of honor

Thank you Poppypug, well pleased with myself, got very excited that I now have the graduate title. Thank you again for the encouragement, I will shine my badge regularly.
I wont lie I was worried that once I had completed that I would not feel enthused about keeping on going without Laura, but now that I have completed, I have the bug and the hunger to do 5k in 30 mins, 5k first though without stopping.
I like my shiny and am going to keep it nice and polished
Good goals. I think it took me about 3 weeks after graduation to reach the magic 5k distance - I was ecstatic! Now I'm working on doing 5k in 35 mins - got soooo close yesterday so I'm hoping that this week or so I'll manage that.
Now you've got the bug you're bound to do well with your goals - good luck.
Well I would truly like to be roadrunner instead of Why-lee (not sure of spelling) dont think I could stand the headaches with all those boulders dropping on my head
Thank you and completing is indeed a great feeling x
Thank you Barbara, that is kind of you, good luck on your journey, and remember to trust in the program and that you can do it. Well done to you for making the step - keep up the good work xx
What a great idea to dress up for graduation..You rock the graduate look..Well done and happy running !
Well I had mucked about about if for a while, so thought that I would improvise and have a bit of fun, felt in a happy mood for some reason hehe - thank you for your support over the past few weeks and happy running to you to x
Glad you like the outfit, think I should have ironed the shirt and wore some lippy, maybe when I get to 10K lol, I will look even redder then. Thanks for your encouragement over the weeks and well done again for the HM. Wow graduation run, never thought of it like that .... well I mus-sent let my public down hehe xx
