I DID IT!! I DID IT!! (shouty voice)

Usually I do my run late afternoon/early evening but seeings as I'm on half term holiday and today is my graduation run I was up early and out with the sunrise to complete, what has been, probably one of the most inspirational moments of my life. 7 weeks ago I could barely walk 5 mins without being out of breath but by - like everyone advises - sticking to the plan here I am today celebrating running for a full 30 mins. Thanks for all the positive comments and help and advice along the way - what a great bunch we all are - today belongs to us all - whether you be a newbie or a longer established member of this wonderful group.

I'm so proud and a tad teary eyed :-) xx

Off now to claim my graduate badge - I'll be back running post 5K on Thursday when the book of life opens it's next chapter.

xx
