W9R3 ta da!

Well there we are, all done. Bet I'm the oldest graduate today!

I have had my celebratory banana.

Glad I got it done before 6:30 it is beginning to get hot already. I was considering the parkrun tomorrow, but it looks like it will be too hot for me. Maybe next week when the consolidation is a bit better bedded-in.

Each run this week I improved which is a great joy to me. But each run seemed harder, I am hoping that is just the heat. Distance: 4.23km Time: 30:54 Pace: 7:18/km.

I know I should rest tomorrow, but I was going to bend the rules 'just this once'. Somehow I need to resync my running days so I can run on Saturday. As a clergyman Sunday is out - not for any religious reason, just that there is too much to do. So maybe I will skip next Friday, so I can be fresh for Saturday in Keswick.

Parkrun seems like too good an opportunity to miss.

Well done! Enjoy the runs to come, graduate.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Congratulations 'theoldfellow' (that should be youngfellow) well done, yes you were very wise in doing it before the heat got going, have a great day.

Congratulations!!

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

Very many congratulations on your graduation fellow runner.

Please read the guide to post C25K running healthunlocked.com/couchto5... as it will remind you of the fact that you are still a very, very new runner and that you must not get carried away with your ability.

Keep running, keep smiling.

[theoldfellow in reply to IannodaTruffe]

Ability? I have no illusions there! 'Carried away' sounds nice.

[DeeRunning Graduate]

Congratulations theoldfellow ! Fabulous achievement, I feel it deserves a bit more than a celebratory banana? 🎂🍰 🙂

Enjoy your future runs! 👍

[theoldfellow in reply to DeeRunning]

As #IannodaTruffe says, we must remember not to get carried away. It was a very nice banana, and I'm not fond of champagne. Cake now, I can get carried away for cake!

[DeeRunning Graduate in reply to theoldfellow]

Champagne is over rated theoldfellow . Hope there was a wee overindulgence of cake though! 😊🎂🍰

[Bridget007 Graduate]

[Forestgrump Graduate]

Well done that fellow. Congratulations on completing the challenge 👍

[southlundon Graduate]

I’m sorry I missed this post - huge congratulations! Running in this heat does make me wonder what it’s going to be like going out in the cold, dark and rain (which means in September, obviously 😉)...?

Bet you aren't the oldest 🍾
