Well, nothing more to say other than . . . . . . . YIPPEEEEEEEE!

Didn't know if I was going to get through this evening run. After walking absolute miles today, including up and down a sandy beach all afternoon, the legs were already a little tired.

But boy I'm glad I did. Yes, my hamstrings, my calfs, my quads and Achilles all feel like they could snap or tear at the slightest touch but the pain is all worth it. I would imagine everyone would like their graduation run to be a walk (or rather run) in the park. This could not have been further from it.

BUT IT IS DONE!

Hi Sallenson, I just completed my graduation run this morning between 10.30 and 11 o'clock, the run went very well indeed despite a bit of a headwind at first. My distance according to my app was 4km 243m at an average pace of 07.05/km

Best of luck to you.
