I very recently joined the improvers group at my local running club, and a call went out tonight for people to buddy up with beginners on the latest c25k course doing their graduation runs. So feeling a bit of a fraud along I went. I really hope the lady I buddied up with didn't mind my inane chatter all the way round, and yes we were naming lampposts towards the end. She did really well and ran across the finish with an extra minute for good measure.
So that was my 2nd graduation run, and a great way to remind myself how much I have improved in the 6 weeks since my own graduation.
So to all of you in the later weeks wondering if it does get any easier, yes it does!
