Of all the runs that one nearly had me ! but i did it!!! had to slow it right down, the last 5 min brisk walk was more of a fast stroll running on empty today , can't complain really all the other runs have been good and some really good . ....So close now just the final graduation run on Sat :D can feel the emotions kicking in now.

Get those dancing girlies ready and the party poppers :D :D :D That badge is going to look so good :D

If she will co-operate I'll try and get her on film. Co-operation is not her best quality though ... !

I used to have a cat like that :)

You are so close so perhaps those gremlins are trying to ruin your excitement. Have fun on your graduation run, enjoy it.

Funny how these running goals take over your life... I expect pretty much nothing is going to stop you going out on Saturday. We'll all be watching this site for the news!!

I'll be working away from my normal base tomorrow so have already goggled a local park that I can run in that I can get to before dark... another addict alert :-)

haha good for you Andy :D It does seem my running days control those days too :D You are right to be so close now, that graduation run is going to be so good , like you I havent done anything else other than C25K and adjusted my diet :D

Go go go!! Almost there as well! BIG BIG well done and looking forward to your graduation run post! All the best C:
