Graduation Day

So I officially graduated today, although I’ve been running 5k for the last week or so (got carried away on W8R2 and just kept going). Hard to believe that just 9 weeks ago I could barely run for a minute! Ran my personal best 5k today too - 32:44. Just wanted to say thanks to everyone who posts on here as it has been a great help and source of inspiration. And to anyone starting out, YOU CAN DO THIS!!
