Meant to write this yesterday but to be honest I finished my run...I said I finished my run... I did I finished my run....and then ate cake.

So I wasn’t going to share this photo but then remembered why we do this..it for ourselves.....all shapes all sizes and all styles. So here I am very hot very very sweaty (oh my god even had soggy knickers 🤭🤭😂😂) but happy and confident because I had finished W9R3. Done it. At week 5 I was seriously tempted to give it up but Laura in her calming encouraging style told me I could do it and I believed her. Thanks Laura

So for all the posts regarding what others will think this is me this is what I look like and you know what i will be out there again wobbling through town three days a week. So if I can do it and share my wobbly bits with the snails 🐌 so can you cause we are the couch 25k crew.

Gosh this has turned into a gush

Anyway thank you all. Right now I have more cake to finish and no one else in the house is awake!

Enjoy your cake Ouching, congratulations on graduating, good photo, yea, red is the colour that most folks are who have just completed their run. I'll not mention the K word.
