I’m a graduate!!

I’ve done it. Nearly cried when I finished.

Started my run with a warm up swagger with a massive smile on my face. Overtook a motorbike twice (it was being pushed). Kept my head up and kept going. Finished my warm down listening to arcade fire wake up which seemed to match all the emotions I felt. So happy to have completed the programme and before Christmas too. Thanks to everyone who’s given me advice or simply commented on a post it’s really helped me having this support. My other half has just passed me a glass of champers to celebrate. (Will have a sip after my water!)

I’ve signed up to do race at your pace in January. The 25 mile one to help me keep running 😊

Good luck to everyone else still on the programme.

Cheers!!! 🥂
