Well, W9R1 repeated (bit of a slog really :-( ) So for R2 this morning I changed my route slightly and reverted to 'do not look at your watch until you're dying' tactics. Ran for 33 minutes. Just saying.

So a healthy option for you all this morning - Summer Berry Pavlova. Positively health food!

Thanks Ully - I haven't decided what my graduation cake will be yet - but whatever it is I'll be having a large slice washed down with a glass of Champagne!

I'm surprised you can smell anything over the delicious waftings from your kitchen!

33 mins? You're home and dry. They're buffing up your badge right now so it's nice and shiny for graduation!

You'll be fine for your final run as you've done the programme so have faith ☺

I wouldn't run on that pav though! 😊

Eat some for your graduation treat with a glass of fizz

Is it for a customer? Wish it was me 😊

I like home made meringue with forced pink rhubarb. Mmmmmmmm

So, batting down hill now Saz. The end is in sight. Enjoy these last runs as they are to be savoured.

I've got one run left too. Can't believe we've nearly finished. I just hope I can maintain it won't out Lura's encouragement.

Oooh we could break the tape hand in hand Susie :-D

I'm afraid I ditched Laura a few weeks ago, but I think we will need to set ourselves new goals to keep up the momentum. I haven't run 5K continuously yet so that's my next step. Good look with your final run! :-)

Awesome Sazzle, well done.

There's nothing quite like a dollop of healthy whipped cream!

Thank you!

I know Dunder - and of course it's double cream to make up for the lack of fat in the meringue :-D

Oooh pavlova is my all time favourite pudding with extra cream and ice cream! Yum yum. That cake looks gorgeous. You are so talented. And you can run for 33 minutes too! Way to go.
