Graduated! Merry Christmas to you all

[Barbarajs]

Did it this morning at 9. Only saw a few people. Took Lily,my chocolate Labrador for the first time. She loved it and was such a good girl. The look of panic on her face when I started running was a picture. Think she thought I was leaving her. She just then ran at the side of me. My other lab still isn't fit after her cruciate repair

So chuffed. I've graduated. What a great Christmas present to myself. Have a fab day all.

Happy running to you all

Barbara xxx (and Lily)

What are your plans now you have graduated?

[Barbarajs Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks B2r. I'm planning on doing a 5km during the week if I can and perhaps edging up to slightly longer at the weekends. I'd like to aim for a 10km eventually. We have a local one in our village which was started for the first time this year in the summer. Looking forward to running in the warmer weather fingers crossed

Fantastic. Well done Barbara (and Lily). Happy Christmas to you.

[Barbarajs Graduate in reply to Irishprincess]

Thank you IP. Lily will definitely be coming again. Now my wish is for Lottie to be well enough to come too. She has had a rough few months and I felt terrible not taking her xx
