Did it!

[Jonno34]

Well chuffed to bits I am as today I completed W9R3. I was almost emotional! I have used two long songs to get me through the 30mins runs and they have worked a treat, just as I flag my fave bit comes in and donates an endorphin! Going to have just a little break to help my Plantar Fascitis, my knee ligaments and my poor nips! Then I will rewind a couple of weeks and see if I can get the speed up a bit, then aim at 35 mins and hopefully 5k!

Please can I have badge/certificate

Well done! 👏👏👏

My sympathies with the sore nips. There is a product called NipEAZE which are essentially small round plasters that stop the running. Or Lanacane cream.

I knew I might need to be measured for running shoes, but not for nipple protectors! 😂

Well Done you !! What songs did you use? I’m trying to listen to music and stop “counting steps” or “estimating time” , I want to just switch off and run 🏃‍♂️

[Jonno34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I am old school rock. This week I used Telegraph Road (Dire straits)at the start then In the Cage Medley from Live in Berlin Genesis

[Hidden in reply to Jonno34]

I’ve got Telegraph Road...maybe I’ll throw some Pink Floyd in after 👍🏻

[Jonno34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

It might be just me but the Genesis Medley works too. Great double drum sound which just lifts me then calms down. I like the long songs, they draw you in and all of a sudden 17mins is gone..

[Hidden in reply to Jonno34]

I’ve got some early Genesis but I don’t know that one, I’ll look it up 👍🏻

[Jonno34 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

youtube.com/watch?v=0CQa4rO...(Not working as expected?) It is on live in Berlin album also. I get lost in the drums from about 8 mins onwards with 2 of the worlds best albeit arthritic drummers complimenting each other. Ok I am a bit of an anorak!

Congratulations on your graduation! How wonderful! I like your idea of having a couple of tried and tested tunes so you can gauge exactly where you are in the run. I might nick that idea if you don’t mind! 😜

I think (know) I’ll blub when I graduate. Still a little way off though!

Again, very well done! 😀💪🏻🙌🎉🏃‍♀️🏃‍♂️

[Jonno34 Graduate in reply to cheekychipmunks]

Keep at it! earlier it was a bit of a mix of songs but fine tuned in the latter songs, understand the emotion I do!
