Penultimate run ✅

[Flaraflarkin]

W9R2 - in a weird sort of way it was an enjoyable slog - kind of 🤔 Hips hurting towards end of run so have been stretching like a woman possessed since finishing!! One run to go, might just have to create a motivational playlist for my last run - may as well go out as an emotional wreck exactly the same as I was when I started this journey 🤗😂

Eeeek! Thank you! 😬

It is an emotional journey. While hurtling forward, every run an improvement on the last, ever hoping to achieve that graduate badge, there's a little voice at the back of your mind reminding you that when that happens it's over. The end. So what's next for you? Have you had a look around yet or given post-graduation any thought? I'm already sad that every run is nearer the last.

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I tend not to look to the future too much nowadays - that way I don't get too disappointed 😊 I'm just enjoying cracking these 30 minute runs, still pinching myself really! The emotional part for me is the achievement and the commitment I've made to this programme - it's been a real personal challenge 😊 Happy running 🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️

Thank you Oldfloss 😊

[Heathermgal Graduate]

Well done! Nearly there...amazing to think what we can achieve isn't it! . I thought at the start this app won't work for me, I can't run why am I even bothering but I graduated this week and now I'm setting myself small goals to keep motivated.

Carrie Underwood The Champion was a song that kept me going. Look forward to seeing your graduation post xx

Oh wow! Congratulations on your Graduation!! 🤗🎉👏⭐️ Omg yes that is one for my playlist - thank you! I shall be in pieces - what with that and Labi Siffrie 🤗

[SuperMouse Graduate]

Fantastic well done @Flaraflarkin

One more run to go and you've done it!

Yes, I agree I think I am going to be very emotional for my last run as well!

[TailChaser Graduate]

Oh wow! It’s all happening today!! Well done Flaraflarkin 👍🎉👍 I think it’s good to do something different for your last run, to make it extra special. You be careful of those hips though - these longer runs seem to take their toll a bit don’t they? All the best for Sunday! Looking forward to seeing yours and Supermouse’s shiny new badges 😁🏃‍♀️🏃‍♀️😁

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to TailChaser]

Thanks TailChaser 😊 Yes these 30minute runs don't feel like they're pushing me too much further but my hips and now Achilles' tendon 😩 are making themselves known now! I think Gait analysis is required now! Hoping everything holds out for Sunday 😬😬

[TailChaser Graduate in reply to Flaraflarkin]

I felt exactly the same last week but survived! Fingers crossed you’ll be ok too, you’ve had plenty of rest time 🤞🤞🤞x

[Jullaly Graduate]

very excited for you, look forward to your graduation party lol

[Flaraflarkin Graduate in reply to Jullaly]

Thank you!

[Pancakes Graduate]

Wow fabulous! Well done you! 🙂👍

[Dexy5 Graduate]

Well Done, one more run to go till graduation. I like your idea of a special playlist, but I’ve had problems with my music disappearing during week 8 & 9, and not much I can do about it while I am running. Not sure but maybe Jo Wiley doesn’t like my tracks! Good luck 🏃‍♀️
