Graduate!

So I celebrated a year at my new job today, picked up the kids, made cookies for American bake sale day and then - in the hour I get to myself - I took off for the final run.

It was so slow I feared snails would overtake me but I can run. For 30 minutes. Non-stop. And it is a beautiful thing. And it has helped my low moods. And I have never run in my life before. And I’m a very different person from the nervous ninja that hid from everyone in the first weeks.

Am so chuffed. Thanks for all your support.

Well done! Can you celebrate with one of those cookies? And ice cream? Yum yum.

It's a great feeling when you finish each run isn't it?! If only we could bottle that feeling we would be so rich! I'm glad it gives you an inner smile and a boost to your confidence.

Keep going, get stronger and the feeling will stay.

when I go for a run (especially now school summer holidays are here) I call it my escape and much needed sanity time. 😎
