Hi Oldfloss ! Have applied for the badge. Had this weird idea that because I have not contributed to the forum for a while that I did not "deserve" it. I can be silly sometimes ;P How are things with you?

So silly.. yes, you are.. of course you deserve it.. you did it!!!! :)

I am fine thanks... up to mad antics as usual, rambles. poems and generally annoying everyone on here:)...l and off to France tomorrow... running by the River Vezere is on the cards!!! Very early morning runs though, as it will be hot... :)

Are you still running three times a week too ?

I always enjoyed your ramblings and look forward to reading more of them. Yes, still running 3 times a week as I am in training for a 10k in November. I am still really slow though lol.

Have a wonderful time in France, pics please or it didn't happen! ;P

Good lord, I have not actually done a 10k yet! The 10k race is in November, my personal best is a humble 7k so far. But 10k feels...possible :)

I am worried in case the Graduation podium cannot take it...:)

On the bright side, we are all hopefully getting a little slimmer (those of us who need to) so there should be room for a few more x

I'm worried that we don't have enough virtual Pom poms and bunting!

I am sure if the virtual DJ plays another rendition of "Eye of the Tiger" that no one will notice x

Good to hear from you. Sounds like your running is going great. It will be nice and cool in Nov for your 10k.

Have been wondering where you got to - I thought you'd fallen off the programme! Congratulations.

I'm coming to terms with life after graduation but have just done my first 5k+ speed session and really enjoyed it.

Are you using any podcasts etc as you run - got any tips to share?!

cathalicious profile image
cathaliciousGraduate in reply toSpongecake7

Congratulations on your graduation! I am not using a podcast and am rather enjoying running without the encumbrance of my phone. I don't really have any tips as such except that I find running with a goal in mind helpful. I am following a 3 day training program found online for the 10k. At the moment I still really need to get my speed up or I'll still be going when they start putting away all the gates ;P
