Hi all. At 17:30 today the 22nd of June I completed Week 9 Run 3 and completed the programme. Thank you for this amazing forum. Would not have been so motivated without you all.

All the lady said at the end of the run on my app was workout complete. No congratulations from her. But I am thrilled. Delighted to have completed the plan and looking forward to my post graduate run on Saturday morning at my local Parkrun. It was also my fastest run so far, I was doing a nice pace of 10.30 per mile for the 30 minute run. Yahoo!!!

It's my 8 year old Boys Birthday today, we had a Birthday Party for him last Saturday. We are going to McDonalds now for dinner, not a healthy option but I will be celebrating my Graduation in McDonalds. Ha Ha.

Damien.

The Birthday boy and his 5 year old brother had their Happy Meals. We only frequent McDonalds a couple of times a year, but it was nice and quiet and for the first time ever there were no drinks spilled all over the table or ourselves. Result.😀👍

Hurray for you, Damienair! Well done. Go on - just this once - supersize it! ;)

I think that option is gone after that great Movie called Supersize me. That Movie put McDonalds PR and Legal Dept's into overdrive.🍟🍔👺👹

Thank you all for the kind words. I can highly recommend the Tennessee Stack Burger 🍔. I'll start a health regime tomorrow.😀. At least I stayed away from the McFlurry's.

Wow, look at that shiny badge. Suits you sir.💃

Job done. Programme over, New life as a runner just begun.🏃

Savour the moment, though we have had the privilege of sharing your journey, the hard work was yours alone.

I was disappointed by the nonchalant end to the app, but the well wishes on here more than make up for that 🎉🎉🎉

Cheers. I really am so grateful for the kind comments. I love the badge. Nice being a graduate. Found run 3 harder that run 2 but I was running at a faster pace. Thanks again.

Yay. Congratulations. Great feeling and great badge, graduate!

It's one of my sons' birthday today too (a tad older at 19, and he definitely isn't spending the evening with me!) :D

Ha ha if my boy was 19 today I'd be in town having a couple of beers with him celebrating his birthday and my graduation. So long as he would not be too embarrassed.😫
