Graduation!! Turned off the timer and ran the distance...

[MotwCoop]

So the wedding anniversary run turned into a solo run when the other half turned back after five minutes. However, I was determined to graduate today so carried on. My usual plan is to time to 15 minutes, turn round and time 15 back. But today I decided to see if I could do 5k, so the timer was turned off and map my run was my guide. Just under 35 minutes and I've run the whole way... 5.06km

I'm just beside myself with amazement...and look like a beetroot, but I'm so, so happy!

I'm 52 years old, today we've been married for 29 years and I'm a C25K graduate!!

Now...Fitbit shopping....

That's fantastic and may I say you do not look anywhere like 52 even after a 5k run!

[MotwCoop Graduate in reply to Shorty7]

You may, thank you! (Not sure it's entirely accurate though!)

[alimoss74 Graduate]

I'm so happy for you! Amazing! X

[JaySeeSkinny Graduate]

Amazing and you definitely do not look 52. Mind you, you look about as sweaty as I do after a run. Great isn't it😎🍾 And, of course congratulations!

[MotwCoop Graduate in reply to JaySeeSkinny]

Glad I'm not the only one sporting the sweaty beetroot look! Loving it!

[Sandraj39 Graduate]

Oh, that wonderful post-run glow! You look so happy and rightly so! Big congratulations on graduating and lots of luck with the next stage of your running journey! Beware, this running lark is strangely addictive as I have found out myself! I never dreamt when I started out, that running would become such an important part of my life! Oh, and Happy Anniversary too!🙂

[MotwCoop Graduate in reply to Sandraj39]

Thank you so much. I'm truly amazed. At the start I'd have been happy to get to five minutes, I really didn't believe I'd get to thirty five!

[Irish-John Graduate]

Well done Graduate Wishing you many more happy miles

[MotwCoop Graduate in reply to Irish-John]

Thank you Irish-John

Planning on those miles to come!

[McFitty Graduate]

That has to be the most satisfied smile I've seen in ages😊What a truly amazing way to celebrate your anniversary - and in awesome style too!

🎶🎈🌟CONGRATULATIONS🌟🎈🎶

And so many things to congratulate you for!

My trusted party planners have been entirely remiss with their emails this week, so I've been late to every one. Hope someone saved me a glass of something😂

Enjoy all your post graduate running🏃
