Lovely afternoon for a run, although still chilly. Daughter donned her newly acquired leggings and various other warm stuff up top and off we went. I thought it would be easy for me having already graduated but no! 13 yr old is faster than me so it’s training me to go faster which is going to be great. Wins all round 😊 Look forward to our next run out together wk1 R2 here we come!

Be aware that the Graduation badge can only be given. to the over 16s...( don't want your daughter to be disappointed).. maybe you could arrange a Graduation medal :) x

Thank you. It’s good for her self esteem too as she didn’t fair well on her recent school cross country. She can and will run we’re just not as fast as her classmates!

Just really enjoy it :)

Tell her that she is built for distance not speed...( like me :) we can keep going when the others are exhausted:) My son in law is fast...but he says he cannot keep up with my stamina.. she is going to be just fine... please keep us posted:)

Maybe a personalised medal when she has completed... One like this on Amazon.. :)
