Wowwwww what a feeling ...... beautiful morning for our graduation run . Actually can't believe we did it ... my gorgeous husband and I set off on a known 5k route .... Mr Smooth and his encouraging tones kept us going ... 5 mins and 10 mins came and went ... past the parkland , past the church and onto a beautiful fen road with stunning scenery , birds and sheep to keep us company ... 15 mins and still feeling good ... pace slow but steady ( great advice Oldfloss ) ..... not saying easy but then the 1 min to go from Mr S ...... couldn't believe we were about to complete this awesome program ....... well as we were feeling ok we decided to keep running until reached the 5k mark to see if we could do it ........ WELL we did - what a feeling 40 mins to run 5k .... not sure how long until we will get 5k in 30 mins but that's the next challenge for us ... as hubby was a tiny bit in front of me at the end he stood with arms open as I reached the finish and the biggest bear hug as a reward .

Thanks for everyone's support .. this running family and this program are incredible ... and Mr Smooth - well it's been a pleasure and I will keep tuning in to you for a while . Special Thankyou to the huge support from some individuals on here ... you know who you are ... also the mentors and fellow runners who ha e commented along this emotional journey

Celebratory fizz for us tonight with huge smiles on our faces πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸ˜πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸŽ‰πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚πŸ₯‚

Woo hoo!!!! (*fireworks noises in background)

Congratulations! I finished mine today so know how you feel.

I pushed through to 5km as well this week and 30min is now the goal as you say. I was also about the same (42m45s) so it’s a great target to now have.

Feet up tonight and back on it next week. Like you I will also be using MJ’s soothing tones for a few weeks until I am comfortable β€˜just heading out there’.

Well done again (and to hubby) you (both) did it.

Brilliantly done fellow Smoothies, it is so great to see another graduation. But you appear to have forgotten your graduation bling see the pinned posts to the right. You did all that work, now get to enjoy the podium view and put your sunglasses on to protect your eyes from the glint of a graduation medal next to your name
