Nearly at the podium ,I'm no stranger to this graduation lark it will be my 3rd ,still feel the great sense of achievement though as if it was my first . It's right what they say , as you get older you get wiser ,I have learned to listen to my body this time round ,listened more closely to advice on this great group . I now have 2 rest days if I feel I need it ,I enjoy my runs taking it steady at a nice pace realising that it's more important than pushing for better times . My body definitely appreciates it ,and touch wood no aches or pains . I ended wk 8 running round our local country park with my middle daughter in the rain ,no headphones today and I really enjoyed it . I'd like to say thanks for all the great advice that's dished out on here & bring on wk 9 and back to the park runs .happy running

You are a proper runner Rockette and will be graduating for the third time stronger and fitter than ever I'm sure.

Yeay... getting there and looking really great!!! :)

You are there in touching distance, you've stayed the course and stayed more comfortable with your bod. That's a great achievement and the bling is flipping in the drawer waiting for you
