Thanks! I finished it and ran all the way! I'm not at 5k in 30 minutes yet, but I'm sure I'll get there. It's a great feeling, stick at it and good luck!

Thanks! Not long for you either, so good luck for that. I'm thinking about downloading the Zombies, Run! app to keep me motivated for the next few weeks - have you made any decisions about what's next yet?

Thanks! For me it's keep doing 30 min runs and increase distance as I'm not up to 4k yet. Then 5k and enter a race ? Get me! Who knew.....!!????

great way to celebrate graduation, good luck :D

Yay! It's going to look so good! Bought myself a new running outfit too, but wimped out of wearing it this morning as it was too cold!

I'm waiting for the timings! Sitting and pressing refresh. But then, I don't REALLY mind what my time is. I got to the end, I didn't die, I ran all the way and I didn't come last! So, all objectives met.

I can and I did! Lots of room for improvement still, but like you I'm definitely getting fitter all the time.

Completed! Woohoo! I ran the whole thing without stopping, hills and all! Not going to break any records, but I'm sooo proud of myself. Now to wait for the official timing, and go get my shiny badge! (And time to check out Rob and his westie's verdict on parkrun...I'm on tenterhooks)
