Graduation run!!

This evening was my local group run. It was a 1 mile loop of the local business park completed as many times as you felt (and by 7pm)

It started good in the shade with a breeze but the middle section was just evil! No shade no breeze and a mild (you probably wouldn't notice it walking) up hill. I made it round twice and there was still 4 min left to run!! I'd been chatting on the way round with the group leader and she knew of a few short cuts we could use to make a short loop avoiding the evil section and should take those last few minutes. It was nearly perfect timing!

It was my longest distance run yet even though I was feeling the heat the whole time!

Then at the end there was cake! It was the group's 6th anniversary so I got to really celebrate my graduation!

I'm a runner now πŸ™€

Whoop whoop well done, I graduated this evening too - it's a great feeling isn't it?

I'm envious of the cake too πŸ˜¬πŸ˜‚
