Week 9 Run 3 - Done!

[Goforitmama]

I ran week 9 run 3 this morning and have been celebrating ever since! I set out on my run from the gym and ran a city route. It was a lovely day with cooling winds and zero humidity. I managed 4.56 k in 30 mins and 28 seconds. Not bad for an old bird!

Afterwards I realised that I had been so close to 5 k that I should have kept going.

Hubby and I went out for lunch to celebrate.

Big thanks to everyone for all of your support. There are obviously too many names to mention, but I do want to thank Duddles (you should call yourself Dude - you inspire me!), RunVicRun for shaming to getting back out there the other day when I was trying to think up 101 lame excuses not to go, sallenson for the laugh (an alternating image of MAMIL and men in mankinis haunts me), Jay66UK (you are just always there with such uplifting comments - thanks) and oldfloss of course.

Thanks, not exactly speedy Gonzales but it was good enough for me!

[Saartjie Graduate]

Yay...let's move the party to your place! 😁🏅🏃‍♀️🥂🍾🍰 Congrats!

Come on over, chocolate cake and champagne is here!

Feels so good to get that little 'graduate' badge by your name doesn't it!

I didn't loose any weight, but I was not trying to either, but I've been told that I am looking well and trimmer. I feel fitter too.

Good luck and keep on running 😀🍰🍾

I was so excited by the badge! No I wasn't doing it for weight loss either but I do feel better these last couple of weeks doing the longer runs. I don't own any scales so no idea if I've lost any though!

Am definitely keeping up the running and hanging round here for a while longer 😊Good luck to you too 🏃‍♀️

Brilliant! Well done. Bet u have been grinning all day. 😁

[Goforitmama Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Yes I've been grinning like a crazy woman.

When I got to 30 minutes I wanted a real podium to jump up on. There was a concrete bench at a bus stop and I was so tempted to jump up and yell 'yay!' but I thought better of it!

You only have 1 or 2 runs left ?? Good luck and enjoy these last runs! I'll be looking out for your graduation post.

[Goforitmama Graduate in reply to MelsieJay]

Thanks! why not keep celebrating. We are proper runners now! How mad is that?!?!

[Goforitmama Graduate in reply to Jay66UK]

Thanks !! This place sure is inspiring. So positive and addictive. I keep on popping back on line to see who has posted what!

I am looking forward to my post grad runs, I feel like I'm giving myself permission to mix it up a little for a while.
