Now, back to the sofa with a cream cake .... (ha!)

[Irishprincess Graduate]

Many congratulations to you and a big enormous well done. That's fab and a huge achievement. Don't forget to get your badge from the link on the right.

Congratulations and to my mind you deserve the cream cake (just the one-don't undo all the good work😉)

[yatesco Graduate]

That is absolutely brilliant - congratulations!

And I understand that you have a grace window of an hour post-run so anything you eat then is calorie free. Honest!

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to yatesco]

Pass the caramel slices!

[cathalicious Graduate]

Congratulations and well done! Enjoy your well earned cake x

[TheHack Graduate]

Well done. I am impressed and the name change fits the bill. Relax and basketball in the graduation glory@

[TheHack Graduate]

Flipping auto correct, bask in graduation glory not basketball!

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to TheHack]

I rather liked relaxing in basketballs. It felt a little like a ball pit for adults!

Ha ha ! Love it ! xxx

[TheHack Graduate]

Oooo I love the idea of a ball pit for grown ups. Could we pass it off as some kind of therapy/post run massage?

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to TheHack]

And relax!

[JoolieB1 Graduate]

For me, rather than cake, it is bacon, eggs, tinned tomatoes, mushrooms and bread. Either way, helps me run, so I am happy with that

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to JoolieB1]

Me...Smoked salmon, strawberries and Champagne!!! Yeay!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Congratulations - now the real fun starts!

[Shivani05 Graduate]

Congratulations!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Excellent ... congratulations... Graduate!

PS

Ditch the cream cake... you will need to stay in trim as you head towards 10K

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I did a pizza instead but back on straight and narrow today with porridge and rather sad looking salad in my bag for lunch.

10K? I don't think so, but I really want to get to 5 faster. That's my next goal.

Thanks for advice.

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate in reply to Un-reluctant_runner]

I was joking...you deserve a treat..☺

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Phew!

My problem has always been that once I start treating myself, I find it hard to stop. So even if you are joking, it is good advice for me.

[AncientMum Graduate]

Great name change un-reluctant-runner. Congratulations on your graduation

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to AncientMum]

Thanks

[pollyp1 Graduate]

Congratulations - love the new name!

[Un-reluctant_runner Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

Thanks. I suspect it isn't grammatically correct, but hey! I'm a runner! Who cares!

(p.s. I am also an English teacher!)
