Today I did my last run , what a nightmare , it was raining , my contacts where playing up and my sight was blurry , my running belt came undone , the dog was being an idiot and tripped me and I had to hobble the last 10 mins and my running app stopped working at 7 mins but I did it πŸ˜ŠπŸ† Thanks for support and advice over last 9 weeks

That's quite a graduation run you've had!! I hope you don't really mean your "last" run and that despite the awful circumstances of your graduation run, you're going to enjoy the next part of your running journey. Well done for keeping at it and celebrate!

Awesome job finishing..& well done on graduating! I had a proper April Fool's run on Sunday (still trying to finish my 3rd 30 min run!). I actually set off really pleased with myself, & decided to revisit my earlier running route, but just at the 2 km mark a wee spaniel decided to have a bit of a go at me...no worries, I assured him I was friendly & jogged on happily until I realised that my running bra had somehow managed to unzip itself??? There was no way I could continue, so had to cut it short & head back home...still laughing at this now! Hopefully the snow & slush will disappear tonight, & i will get out for another attempt tomorrow.

I'm sorry but I did laugh at your sports bra dilemma, I thought my running belt coming undone was bad enough , we escaped the latest wave of the snow , just got the rain and a little bit of sun poking out

honestly, I just laughed when it happened...I did try to sort it out, but I have to lie down to get it zipped up in the first place!! The ladies walking the spaniels were amused too...told me to nip in the bushes & fix the problem so I had to tell them about my efforts getting it on too... Hopefully it will behave on my next run!!

Reminds me of my only run on a treadmill. Used the school gym- I’m a teacher. Luckily no students about as I realised as I started my run my sports bra was undone. Did I stop and sort it? Oh no, I carried on whilst trying to hook it back together (still running 😳). What I looked like I cannot imagine. I did manage to hook it up and carried on. I can only imagine the site team looking at the CCTV and having a right laugh. πŸ€¦πŸΌβ€β™€οΈ

Trials and tribulations, and you did it! Fantastic! And also funny - made me laugh, which I needed. So you have graduated whilst battling difficult circumstances and also cheered up a fellow runner - what a star. Well done! πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸŽ“
