Did it!

[JulieDawnH]

Finally completed week 9, run 3! Things kept getting in my way the last fortnight, including 3 days toiling up hills in Dorset, meaning I could hardly walk let alone run. But finally, on Sunday afternoon, off I set and got it done! My son went off on his run at the same time - different class, he has done one marathon already, but he timed it so he could run the last 10 minutes with me and cheer me on. Which meant I had someone to high-five when I did it. Wooo, feels so good. Going to go out tomorrow and do it all again. Thanks to everyone for their support.

Ah well done Julie. You have passed the finish line, collect your lovely little graduation badge and wear with pride

[JulieDawnH Graduate in reply to J9_54]

No idea how to - so will just have to have to make my own out of cardboard!

Brilliant - a fantastic achievement! Keep on running ! 🏃🏽‍♀️👍🏅

[JulieDawnH Graduate in reply to Kimterry]

Thank you. I did it again this morning. Same run, just very slightly faster. I am not ready for the 10k challenge yet, so going to stick with the 5k until I feel more confident. What did you do when you graduated?

[Kimterry Graduate in reply to JulieDawnH]

I'm still consolidating running for 30 mins. I've slowed my pace so that I can run for longer. I feel its coming together now. Slow and steady, as Old Floss says!

[Ificandoit Graduate]

Brilliant and well done to your lovely son - I'm sure he's really proud of you. My super fit son also runs huge distances in all weathers and I could never understand what motivated him. Now I do and making him proud is one of the things that keeps me going through the toughie runs.

[JulieDawnH Graduate in reply to Ificandoit]

Me too! Thank you
