All done and dusted and looking forward to the big one. Tracked just the 30-minute run and achieved 4.25k. That equals 5k in around 35 minutes. That's given me something to aim for after graduation - a sub 30 minutes 5k. I'm going to need all the incentives I can find, haha. Keep up the running.

Another great run... off the last bend now... the crowd are going wild... chanting your name... time to bring it home!

I’m ready to celebrate... see you in a couple of days!

First time out at 5k... 35 would be damn impressive.

Keep finding your incentives... here’s another one... you’re inspiring lots of others here... go close this out. Amazing job.

How can I and others fail to be inspired by your words!! As you say, off the last bend, and I can see the finishing line!!

Oh hell yes! Wherever you choose to go, that’s where it starts... you will have changed your life... you’ll have added years to it... but wether it’s 5k runs, 10k, maybe you have ambitions to go marathon... the next thing you do will be the first thing you start as a runner. There’s nothing you’ll ever face that’s more testing. There’s nothing you’ll ever face that will demand you need to find that self belief from nowhere. And it’ll be much more fun. But once you cross the finish line, it becomes the next start line!

Be very very proud, and bring home the victory, celebrate, and then decide where next and go again.

With a post like that, how can I not concede? Yes! You're right. As I cross the line on Friday, it'll be the start line to a new future, etc, etc.

Hehe... I did concede it’s a finish line too... for a little while.

Can’t wait to hear about your graduation run. You have done so well and are showing others what can be achieved. 😁

The stats are great and I’m sure you’ll smash the targets you have set yourself 🤛🤜

Thank you. I'll make sure I post a graduation speech, lol. If others see what can be done, that's one happy feeling.

Looking good Antonio! My best 5k is 36 mins and has never been repeated so I’m getting jealous!!! Well done. Nearly there...! X
