Graduated!

Im 55 years old & Never thought I'd get here but I have.

I've run every other day for the last 9 weeks, some mornings it's been hard, but I persevered, I think my motivation was my hubby & daughter saying I'd never do it, well I proved them wrong!

Wooo Peekyknees, very well done! Bet your proud as anything! I’m similar age to you and plan to graduate on Friday! I too never thought I’d get here, especially after W1 which felt fun, but oh so hard!

Congratulations again! Get that badge and wear it with pride! 🏃‍♀️🎉👍🏻🙌
