I woke up at 5.30 as I was going to go out before the heat came and do this run! After the previous gruelling 2 runs with intervals I wasnโ€™t very optimistic about this one.

A cup of tea and an apple inside me I set off and boy did running in the cool(er) weather make a difference! The only slow down bit was when a couple of dogs on their morning run decided it was โ€œbreak timeโ€ and stopped in my path lol.

When the time was up and Sarah told me I was now โ€œOFFICIALLY A RUNNERโ€ I could feel myself beaming and nodding away with what she was saying. I bet the people in the cars driving past wondered what the hell I was listening to!

Iโ€™m now sat in my garden in the morning sunshine with another brew feeling great!!! ๐Ÿคช๐Ÿค—๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿผ

Looking at my run on Strava it was a bit wobbly. Think the GPS has had enough of the heat as well lol

Take a box of tissues with you for your graduation run, the final 60 seconds of mine were spine tingling as the scale of achievement hit home

Hahaha Iโ€™m going to get my hubby and daughter to stand at the โ€œexpectedโ€ finish line as they didnโ€™t think Iโ€™d get past W1r2! ๐Ÿคช

Itโ€™s an amazing feeling to be told at the end of W6r3 that your a โ€˜runnerโ€™ is hard to believe. Itโ€™s only when in wk7 your running for 25 minutes and wk8 28 that you start to believe. Well done runner.

This is so true!! Iโ€™ve just done W7 R3 yesterday and I canโ€™t help feeling a bit surreal because I originally struggled running 60 secs all those many weeks ago. Never thought Iโ€™d have got this far.
