Pleased but a bit deflated too 🤔

I have just graduated “hurrah” I hear you all say because you are all such a fab group. However I had technical issues with my ear phones and couldn’t hear anything. So my option to either stop and sort it or continue with no music podcast or Jo. So decided to run my usual route with just my gasps of breath and thoughts. I thought you can do this on your own just this once. It’s going to be special as it’s your graduation run enjoy it. Well I did when it was over but because I couldn’t hear anything at the beginning I set off in my usual place. Only to find at 10 mins in. I could very faintly hear jo which meant although I knew I had started before the 5 mins were up at the beginning due to the problems, she didn’t, so when she said I only had 1 minute to go I had to stop 😢. Needless to say I feel I cheated but know I didn’t 😇. I did keep saying to myself keep going but honestly I was so hot and bothered I just couldn’t do another minute 😳

Anyway folks I did it after never having run in my life 🎉🎉🎉

Bless you, thanks oldfloss, I have followed your words of wisdom too you got me through right to the end as well

[NJGam Graduate]

Congratulations. Tech or no tech you still ran for 30 minutes! I imagine it must be far harder to run without sound when it’s become part of our routine, so actually your achievement is even more special. Well done!

[Nollie26 Graduate in reply to NJGam]

NJGam thank you 🙏🏻 I hadn’t thought of it that way. Yes it was much tougher just listening to myself breathing/gasping. Having said that the wonderful spring smells were a delight!!!
