Just finished my graduation run! It was a lovely sunny morning and as I finished I was walking past the village church. Just as I clicked 'end and save' the church bells started to ring. Not quite a confetti cannon but it put a grin on my face!

Before this I had not run since forced into it at school. A few months ago my daughter and I went out for a hilarious 'test' run: how on earth DO you even run and could we do it? Answer: not very well and not for long! Can't believe how far I've come.

This forum has been an amazing support and encouragement- thanks to all and good luck to those hoping to graduate this coming week. I'm now thinking about where to go next with running. Have already ordered my ear warmers and buff for winter runs though, so no chance of stopping!

Love that the bells were ringing for you, totally get that! Very well done 👍 I need to order something lightweight for the colder months, a coat is too hot but a Tshirt not enough 🤔
