26 out of 27....yes 9/2 now done!

[Big_fella]

Yeeha! It was bit rainy...at one point had to put on my new OR rain jacket (get me and my running gear!), I lost Laura for about a minute....but kept on running, until she caught me up (ahem!), and they'd been moving some cattle on one of the lanes I run, so I had a few more obstacles to negotiate than usual, if you see where I'm coming from!

All that aside the penultimate run is done! First 15 hard, gremlins, about stopping and walking, just got to push through them, second 15 mins, felt good, even speeded up a bit for last 5 mins. 'Tis all good. Nearly there! As CRH would say a-maz-ing!

Whens the Graduation run planned for ? xxx

I'm going to try for first thing Friday morning, as then I'll be travelling for most of the day. Fall back is Saturday morning.

Excellent you can cross that one off as done and dusted and rest up for the grand finale on Friday keep the faith and remember the musketeer motto all for one and one for and no one gets left behind

[Big_fella Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

I was thinking of the musketeers as I turned for my last 15 mins! The psychology is working!

[McFitty Graduate]

[MichaelH070862 Graduate in reply to McFitty]

Trust you you had to bring it down to the base level

[McFitty Graduate in reply to MichaelH070862]

[Big_fella Graduate in reply to McFitty]

[McFitty Graduate in reply to Big_fella]

Go sponge your legs! 😂

[Big_fella Graduate in reply to McFitty]

T'is done! Was a nice warm shower. All was well again after that!

[Biscuit0107 Graduate]

Well done for avoiding the 'deposits' . I run through fields with cows and paths popular with dog walkers so i know that it can be a major pain changing stride to tip-toe through the t**ds 😳

[Hidden]

Well done! So nearly there! And love the thought of you dodging the cow pats!!!

[Big_fella Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It had to be done!

[Ellymeg Graduate]

Fab-u-lous!! Well you certainly bagged that in style!! I thought you were going to say you had speed-skated on the cow-pats on the way, but you tippy-toed right through (no mean feat!).

One more step along the road we go🎧🎧. Can you believe it? Rest day tomorrow - then it's the big one! No pressure just one more to go..................

See you there😁😅😎 don't forget the posh jacket 😃
