Graduate

I graduated in August and was over the moon that I’d managed to run for 30 mins. I have kept up some running but have also joined a gym to develop my core strength as well. On 1st September I did a 5k Park run with hundreds of other people and it was amazing. The organisers and Marshall’s were amazing - cheering and clapping at every kilometre. At the finish line I felt I had run a marathon not because I was exhausted, but because the crowd were so welcoming and enthusiastic. If you haven’t done one of these yet, I can highly recommend them. They are all over the country I believe. Brilliant for keeping you motivated. Well done to all of you other “Runners” whether you have just started or just graduated! By the way how can I get a graduate banner next to my name ? Cheers!

It’s a great feeling! Both graduation and Parkruns!! Well done for doing both! 😍

I haven’t been to the gym for quite a while as running has kind of filled up my time. I have it for winter though and in fact a nice steam room session every so often is a good idea. Thanks for the gym reminder!! Got to get in there. I may have to run there in the dark and cold winter too! 😁❤️
