Use whatever intonation you want for the chant...

I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it, I did it........

And if Strava had not given up on me I could tell you how far. My approximation (taking a generous mile off for the warm up / warm down and pre-leaving the house potter after I remembered to put my watch on) is 3.24 miles. And even if it wasn't I took on the challenge of an incline I'd only run down before and was planning to save for post graduation, - for all those struggling with inclines: keep at it, they get better - and my activity watch tells me I actually ran for 15 mins. Given the afore mentioned incline which was a good 10 mins and the slow running warm up I'm happy with that.

Happy w/e, running people. I'm off to put some prosecco on ice and into town to buy something nice for wedding anniversary dinner!

Congratulations, you did it!!! Graduation, anniversary, hills and 5k!! A perfect day!! Don't forget to ask for your shiny new badge!

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to melly4012]

Thank you! I used to read posts saying 'don't forget to ask for your badge' and think 'who'd forget?'. Turns out I would - thanks for the reminder. See you when you're back out there.

[melly4012 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

The euphoria of graduating can be a bit of a blur! There is nothing like seeing that badge appear next to your name

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to melly4012]

I still forgot! But I made sure I came back and asked for it before I went out...

I am soooooo looking forward to it. I started c25k at a horrible time and everything feels so much lighter now!

[dddd4 Graduate]

Congratulations you deserve all your celebrations now. Hope you find something lovely to wear and have a great time. ☺

It's going to be on the settee and I'll be wearing a natty pair of Asda jogging bottoms and a TU t-shirt! We know how to live!

[dddd4 Graduate in reply to pollyp1]

Haha I misread your post and thought you said you were off to buy something to wear not eat!! You must be like me - love to end the day in joggers! Enjoy your food and drink😊🎊🍸

[pollyp1 Graduate in reply to dddd4]

Oh yes. It was a light bulb moment when I realised I'd turned into a Debenhams / tk maxx woman rather than a House of Fraser one and didn't care! Favourite food and almost favourite drink for dinner with my favourite man - that'll do me!
