Well, after a rather long journey of 18 weeks I have just finished my graduation run (along with the bats and the rabbits and a cyclist who nearly ran me over!). I think my graduation treat needs to be a head or chest torch 
Time to register for my first parkrun and concentrate on actually getting to 5K now. Thanks to everyone here for your encouragement and invaluable help along the way.

Yayyy congratulations 😀. That's fantastic. Good luck with the park run 😀.
Excellent news Sarah, well done to you 🌟🍾🌟🍾🌟🍾🌟
Congratulations. Well done and I hope you are proud of your achievement and enjoy running in future.
Thank you all, very kind! I'm happy, it's taken ages, but that was the original plan - I've just got to keep it going now and I've got a lovely shiny graduate badge already oh wow!!!!
Fantastic!
Congratulations graduate, enjoy your achievement, you are truly a runner! 😃🏃🏻
Congratulations! Enjoy that amazing feeling.
Congratulations Sarah.. well done.🎉🎉🎊
Yes, get a torch, that sounds like a dangerous run tonight. Maybe your shiny new graduate badge will make you more visable and scare away the bats..😊
Congratulations & well done such a fantastic achievement😊🏃👍 bet you are fair chuffed! I normally run in the evening but wakened early so thinking I might try a morning run! Find I'm an evening person even slower in the mornings than night time😃😃! Week6 r1 & can't wait till I I complete week9 only so I can say "I did it" never stuck to anything so well before & actually getting to look forward to each challenge!! I can't believe I said that😂x stick with the forum Sarah to keep us beginners going x
Well done, all your own work - hurrah🍾🍸🍾💐
Well done! A running light sounds a great graduation prize, and shows your commitment to keeping on running. Laugh in the faces of bats, lol
Congratulations!! Hope the Park Run is fun 😊👏👏👏💐💐
Congratulations!!! I know the feeling! We just did our graduation run yesterday (in the dark). Both mid-50's and it took us 5 months, but we did it and that's all that counts.
