[Baileyb]

Finally, got there in the end.

[Tomas Graduate]

Yay! Congratulations!!! It's a great feeling, isn't it? Now starts the real fun where you can run because you want to, not just because Laura says you have to

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to Tomas]

Ah Laura, I will miss her but I won't miss "Julie". Need to find some good running music now as it does make a difference

[Atalaya Graduate in reply to Baileyb]

A..poor Julie! I do miss her!

Congrats on your graduation!

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to Atalaya]

Don't feel sorry for Julie, drove me mad.... You and Julie you and Julie you and Julie. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhrg

[ju-ju- Graduate]

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]

THANKYOU. In Cheshire Cat mode

[Toonlou24 Graduate]

Well done you! It's the best feeling ever!! Congrats!!!

[hilbean Graduate]

Congratulations! And now you have a goal to work to as well. Happy running

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to hilbean]

I am starting to look forward rather than dread, funny that it gets to you

[hilbean Graduate in reply to Baileyb]

Certainly does. And it helps to have a goal. I took a few weeks to settle into anything after graduation. It was nice to have a bit of freedom but I found I needed a plan of action after that. Enjoy

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to hilbean]

I'm working toward a run for life 5k at the end of May and possibly an 8k in July but one step at a time

[hilbean Graduate in reply to Baileyb]

That's good. I'm doing a race for life at the end of May too. But I decided to start training for 10k. No race planned yet but just enjoying it

[Baileyb Graduate in reply to hilbean]

Maybe 10 next year, you are an inspiration

[hilbean Graduate in reply to Baileyb]

Wow! That's very kind of you *blush*

[Baileyb Graduate]

It seems my July run is now 10k not 8 oh dear. Back in training mode, first joint run with rob and his westie wasn't too shabby although I am no match for him I don't think I embarrased myself too much!
