This graduation smile is staying with me a loooonnnnngggggg time 😃😃😃🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻🏃🏻

I've done it yeahhhhhhhh!!! 🎶🏅🍾.

Went out early this morning for a run along the riverside with my super-fit 29yr old son, and ....... I DID IT ! I did everything Laura asked of me! AND.... I also ran a couple of extra minutes because I was so close to running 4k and I was totally in the zone (as they say😃). I'm not fast (my boy runs 5k in under 21 mins normally) but I am very very very happy.

I intend to slowly grow the distance to 5k over coming weeks, but would also like to increase speed so I'm heading for Stepping Stones, Speed and Stamina....already downloaded the podcasts👍🏼

I've celebrated with a new running top, pretty jade green rather than my usual 'let me hide-away' black. Then, joy oh joy, presented with a bacon sandwich by my wonderful husband. Way-off my healthy eating plan but such a rare treat these days, delicious and an absolutely perfect way to celebrate my achievement.

Happy running all and have a terrific weekend 🍾🎵🏆

[SuperMouse Graduate]

Well done, brilliant! A little bit of what you fancy now and again is no bad thing 2

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to SuperMouse]

Thank you, I am so so happy about the run. My son is going abroad next week for 3 months so happy to have had his company! As for the bacon sandwich, absence makes the heart grow fonder was never more true😃

Well done ! I bet you'll be grinning for a week I know I was. I celebrated with a "Magnum" Ice cream, not champagne .

[Millsie-J Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Hidden , I think at least a week! I'm loving that graduation badge! Champagne has nothing on a Magnum, great choice 😃🍦

[RunningGeek Graduate]

Congratulations! Hope your face doesn't ache too much 😂🎓👟🏃

[Millsie-J Graduate]

Thank you RunningGeek ! I can cope with the face ache as long as legs, knees , ankles , hips, back etc don't join in! Tee hee hee!
