Hi everyone,

Well I've finished week 7 and also smashed 5K in 37 minutes. How proud am I, yet again people In. Cumbria are phoning North Yorkshire because of the noise I'm making when I realise I'm hitting my goals earlier than expected.

I'm not even feeling over tired after Laura tells me to rest.

This running has gripped me more than any other sport I've ever done.

6 more runs to graduation then I can work towards 10 K slowly. I must admit a friend of mine has just done 39.2 miles in 3 hrs 24 mins

Made me feel abit inadequate but then he is a true forest gump in the true meaning of the words lol

Well all you new runners like me keep it up and see you at grad day.

Wk8 starts Saturday, I really can't wait :)

Regards Jase

I'm in remission at the moment so I'm giving it what for until I can't anymore. Mo Farrer had best watch out because I'm after his top spot. MRI scan next Friday to see how the lungs are doing so hopefully I should be 10k ing in a few weeks 😊🚴🏃

You're mad Poppy! Could you please practice the right notes for all the up-coming grads in the next week or so. By the way, please stop distracting me, I'm supposed to be doing the housework. Dusting done, having a rest, onto the vacuuming now. Good bye. Oh, and by the way, Well Done Jase - I'm mightily jealous of your time. A real star.

This is disgraceful, I'm still here and still no vacuuming. You two are too distracting - I'm leaving you to eachother, you'll be the ruin of us all.

Ah, PoppyPug, you troublemaker! Yes, I have been resting for a few days with a twinged knee so can give you guys my attention. Hope to be back on the road in the morning.

See you around, though!

That's great Jase, well done. 37 mins! And so you should be proud. You're nearly there and a 10k goal to work towards, what's not to like x :-)

Jase44Graduate in reply tono-excuse

Thanks no excuse for your kind words. I'm so looking fwd to completing this programme. I just hope it continues to be as good post Laura. I have a running group in mind but I will need to hit 10k to go with them. They are a good group of runners but they mainly run 6 miles each outing

Not what you're looking for?
