Graduation run complete - yay!

[tortoisegirl]

So this morning was the morning. Yesterday evening I wasn't sure if I was going to manage it - my run on Saturday was late in the day and included some serious hills and yesterday I had a longish walk with my family, which also included some serious hills! However, I gave myself a bit of a lecture and I was watching the sun rise as I ran! It wasn't the fastest run, I only covered 3.35K, but I really don't mind. I can slowly stretch that to 5K. I am very proud of myself, especially when I remember how I felt when I ran W1R1! (A minute never seemed so long!) I am off to register for my nice, shiny badge and to treat myself to a cooked breakfast! Thank you for all the patience and support that you have shown me on this forum, it really is a great place!

Well done tortoisegirl

And enjoy that breakfast.

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to Fat_stab]

Thank you! I did enjoy it - I'm more of a porridge girl usually so this was a special treat. I'm glad I don't have to move much more today though!

Graduate!!!!!!!!!! Well done you What a lovely run.. I love the early morning!

Never mind the 'only covered' you ran for thirty minutes and that is what it is all about! Distance and speed.. you have loads of time to sort that if you wish to.

Your journey goes on.... your way... the adventure begins!

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

I am really looking forward to doing my own thing for a bit. I'm not going to rush into longer distances - I intend to enjoy this!

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

[TessHardy Graduate]

Well done tortoisegirl that is fantastic! How was the well earned breakfast? I too was reflecting on those first runs and the impossibility of running for 60 secs. We have come a long way ....... Xx

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to TessHardy]

The breakfast was great - feeling a little bloated now! Well done to you too! Feels good, doesn't it?

[Jmiss Graduate]

A very big well done to you tortoisegirl. Really pleased for you. 🌟🍾🌟🍾🌟🍾

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to Vanessa291]

Thank you! I am still buzzing, despite having sat through two back-to-back meetings this afternoon!

[AnneDroid Graduate in reply to tortoisegirl]

Did you tell everyone at the meetings? I would have!

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to AnneDroid]

No. They do know I am running, so I should have done! Mind you, they think I am certifiable...

[lightweightkate Graduate]

Congratulations!! And how wonderful to watch the sun rise on that graduation run 🎉🏃👏😀 Yay!!

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to lightweightkate]

Thank you! It was quite an impressive red colour. Unfortunately I was close to the end by then and more interested in keeping going than admiring beauty. I have a feeling that in a few weeks I will be running in the dark!

[Tryinghard2016 Graduate]

Congratulations tortoisegirl , well done!

[tortoisegirl Graduate in reply to Tryinghard2016]
