Congratulations... one last struggle and dig deep to beat the course... it’s not a bad way to end huh? You’re a winner and a lot fitter than when you started. Wonder where you will go with your running.

Great job!

I feel amazing but also like I need to take so many painkillers (back issues)

Well done! I think everyone’s had runs like that, just the luck of the draw that you had one on that particular day. My own graduation run was odd in that it was really hard before I started but fine when I eventually got myself running! Every run is different and for beginners like us, every run teaches us something new about ourselves, be it physical or mental.
