Graduation Day - WOW I did it

I did it W9R3 and was better than I thought it was going to be as I struggled on R2. I managed 3.40K's in 30mins average speed about 8.50, my best time so far, so not bad for a 61 year old who hasn't run since school. I don't think I would've kept this up if it hadn't been for my lovely hubby davelinks he's been out with me every time, a big big thank you x. So can I have my badge now please:)

Well done you 🎉🎉👏👏🎉 Once this running gets into your system it sticks. Must be great to have a running buddy, my other half is struggling with a long term knee injury so can't come with me. He does however, make a great cuppa for me when I get home ☕️ and if he's not around our son steps in. Your Graduate badge looks great 🎖
