A very wet graduation 🎓

[Run1980]

Well I’ve only gone and done it! 9 weeks of hard work but all worth it.

It all started so badly

1- I was late leaving work

2- then had to take son to footy, to then find out it was cancelled due to the weather

3- finally get to run at 5-15pm instead of 4.15

4- gps fails me yet again on running app

5- then my music decides to turn off, which actually wasn’t as bad as I thought it would be

6- played dancing running trying to avoid the huge puddles

BUT... I completed 5k (know from previous runs) in 30 minutes and feeling amazing!

Posted the famous graduation pic just to prove I’m an all weather runner 🏃‍♀️ (Although I took it when I got back in so doesn’t really prove anything 😂)

Congratulations! That’s some pre run preparation 😂. Hectic life, tech failure, and still a great run... damn good job. Celebrate loud and proud.

Very very well done Run, I'm glad I set off at 4.30 then! And you've done it in 30 minutes, absolutely marvellous stuff. Thankyou for your help and encouragement over the last few weeks it really was a great help Now to decide what to do next! Have a lovely evening and treat yourself to a well earned celebratory drink or 6. Oh by the way I nearly forgot 29.43 5k for me 😁.

Sounds like a nightmare!! At least you got it done in the end. Well done you!! 5k in 30mins is a good pace. What are your plans going forward? Are you going to keep at the 5k runs or go for the 10k?

[Run1980 Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I’m going to stick with the 5k for now but want to work towards the 10K eventually 😬

[Languid_Lil Graduate]

Oh well done! Especially with all those obstacles! And what a fantastic time! You rock! 🌟🎉🍾🏅💐⌚👏👟

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate]

Well done and congratulations, great that for the final graduation run you did it in 30 minutes. I was out a run yesterday and just shortly after I finished my run, heavy rain and wind began, the music I was listening to which was a radio station started to distort despite the fact that a Mobile Phone mast was within metres of where I was. You now are a graduate and will see that word next to your name if you tell the administrators for September graduates that you have completed W9R3.

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Run1980]

I can imagine!! Brilliant!! 🤩❤️

[Reverie1 Graduate]

Congratulations! - and lovely picture : ) I've only a couple of runs to go now - it's a great feeling even if things aren't 'perfect' every time (eg I got LOST this morning trying to take a new route and had to almost grind to a halt to check Google maps...!)

Anyway, good for you, and enjoy your well-deserved sense of pride : )
