Week 9 -done :-)

...I completed my Graduation run (W9R3), this morning (I'm still letting that sink in) πŸ˜†.

Decided to try and be 'a bit techy' (downloaded Nike+ Run Club app lol) and record my run πŸ‘Ÿ.

30mins of running (okay jogging) -me lol. I'm not quite at the 5K mark but I'm getting out there and trying ('One foot in front of the other' 'Slow and steady'...).

It was a bit drizzly and asides from the lone fisherman -it was just me on my route, Laura's voice still guiding me... And that was pretty much what happened -stopped at 30mins to begin my warm down walk. Large smile adorning my rather red face 😊.

The journey over the last 9 weeks has been punctuated with much swearing and much smiling. This forum and the people on it have inspired me to keep going - 'thank you' πŸƒ.

Onwards to consolidation (think I might have a celebratory vino, later 🍷) ☺...

Top work mam, that's a fantastic achievement! I'll strain my ears a bit later on for the sound of that cork popping! Well done to you and enjoy your new running life!

Congratulations. That’s a great run. Very good stats. It’s a fantastic achievement to come as far as you have from when you first started. Enjoy the 🍷. I believe it’s the best way to rehydrate 😁
