🎼🎤 What's that coming over the hill? Is it a monster - no it's week 9🎧🎹

Goodbye week 8, you've been great😊. Week 9 - you're all mine next week 😊😊😊😊😊😊

[lightweightkate Graduate]

Yay! Well done Jingle_berry 😀

[Jingle_berry in reply to lightweightkate]

Thank you @lightweightkate. I honestly cannot believe it!!! Can't believe that I am thinking - it's only 2 more minutes, when a couple of months ago I would have been thinking '2 mins - I can't run for 2 mins!' I think Laura should be knighted xxx

[lightweightkate Graduate in reply to Jingle_berry]

I know - it's amazing isn't it 😀

[RunningGeek Graduate]

Yay! W8 kicked into touch. Onwards and upwards. Go you 😀

[Jingle_berry in reply to RunningGeek]

It was a hard one today, could easily have given up after 5 mins, but Billy Joel saw me through!!! You are so nearly there too 😊. I feel like I could burst with pride, haven't felt like this since I can't remember when 😘

[RunningGeek Graduate in reply to Jingle_berry]

Good choice of music. Great that you feel so good 😀

[Polly2723 Graduate]

Well done - 3 more to go before graduation. You can do it!!

[Jingle_berry in reply to Polly2723]

I really think I can!!! What a feeling ☺️

[OldPossum]

Well done you. I loved week 9. I grinned from ear to ear all week but after run 3 could barely contain myself. Enjoy 😀😀

[Jingle_berry]

I can feel the smile bubbling up inside right now! 😀

Oooh exciting times Jingle_berry !

Isn't it mind blowing to think how far you have come from those first scary steps of W1R1 ?

Onwards to Graduation ! - Huzzah ! xxx

[Irish-John Graduate]

It's a Running Monster!! Destroying vast distances and annihilating the stop watch records!! (well - at least we do compared to a few months ago, right ? )

Your place is being prepared at the Graduation Table Jingle

[Jingle_berry in reply to Irish-John]

I am a true member of the slow and steady brigade so no record smashing going on ( except as you say compared to my other life of strolling 😉). Good to have you back IJ, glad you enjoyed your own run on your return! How long did it take for you to achieve your 5k after graduation can I ask? I'm averaging about 2.75k on my w8 runs of 28 mins - and am done 😴, when I have finished! Speed will need to increase significantly to manage 5k in less than an hour xxx

[McFitty Graduate in reply to Jingle_berry]

Ah Jingle_berry I'm so glad to have a fellow slow & steady in the ranks. I thought it was just me Your time sounds pretty much identical to where I was on week 9. My first 5k was over an hour You're doing great and that graduation badge will soon be sitting right where it belongs. Next to your name!

Good attitude jingle_berry 😊,

You kicked week 8 into touch....

You can do this...😄x
