Yay I've graduated πŸ˜€

As planned I did the Parkrun as my graduation run and I was so proud of myself for managing to run the whole thing in 36:37.

Feel amazing right now!

After weeks of healthy eating I will be treating myself to a Chinese takeaway tonight as my reward.

A massive thank you to everyone who has encouraged me along the way. Really don't think I could have done it without you.

I will certainly be sticking around this forum to help others.

Very very well done! It was hot today for Parkrun too. Chinese definitely deserved (I had ice cream 🍦)

Good on you I did a 10k this morning and it was quite warm I had to settle for a Choc ice when I got in and loads of water so treat yourself and have a rest and then get consolidating runs finally don't forget your grad badge

I didn't either but times were'nt coming down and someone said that to go faster you had to go further so I tried it and it is true in the last week I have had three PB's on my 5 km runs

Well done. An an extra credit for doing it in the heat. I went out yesterday morning but decided I'd had enough after 2.5 miles.

Still it will get you nice and aclimatised for running under the Tuscan Sun. Saviour the moment, enjoy your holiday and happy runningπŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰

It was hot yesterday but not as hot as when I did my first Parkrun 3 weeks ago! I nearly passed out! Looking forward to running a Parkrun in the cooler months 😊

I've not long started out on the c25k having never even run for a bus before, you have encouraged me enormously as my goal also is a local NT property park run with my friend who is an Iron Man triathlete so to be able to run alongside her will be really something for me, even though I expect my pace will be a bit tedious for her!
