What can I say - I am officially a graduate

Second attempt at W9R3 , ran over 30 mins and was only 40 m short of the 5km ( why did I stop ??? ) . Anyway might treat myself to a small beverage this evening.🍸

Anyone starting out - don't give up - I struggled to complete W1R1 and thought there was no way I would ever get to this point. ( Ooh getting at bit emotional now ). Take it slow and the plan will get you there.

Now we looking forward to running when and how far I want. Feel fitter than I have in years. Think Parkrun might be my next goal.

Woohoo! It's great to see another graduate, well done! Definitely time for a celebration, you deserve it! It's nice to keep 5k as a post-grad goal so you still have something to go for over the next few weeks. Congratulations again πŸ˜€πŸΎπŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸ‘
