Wow embobs, that’s epic! You are one of the elusive 10%. 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉

You’re clearly a natural gazelle and you’ll romp your graduation run no problem! Brilliant! 👏👏👏👍👍👍

Congratulations!! Pre graduation 5ks are a rare thing... be hugely proud... dance up and down and make some noise right now!

You’ve knocked this out of the park... enjoy every step of that graduation run.

I did an air punch with 60 seconds to go as Runkeeper said 4.89k then I put my foot down!!!

I don’t feel like a natural! It just felt like it fell into place tonight. When is your run 2?

Well done. I did the same tonight. Carried on and did 5k. But hasten to say it was NOT in 30 mins but I was so enjoying my run I carried on! Whoop whoop for your graduation coming up soon!

Whoopeeeee!!!! 🌟 How fantastic is that! Must have been an amazing feeling! I just went over 4km in my first 28 min run tonight, and that made me feel as if 5k is within sight and possibly within me. Who would have thought???

embobsGraduate in reply toDragonflies

It’s really close! You’ll be there sooner than you know! I pushed myself in week 8 but didn’t feel I had made much progress. I took wk9r1 slowly then bam run 2 and 5k achieved! I know it won’t happen every time but at least I know I can do it! (According to Runkeeper anyway!)

Well done! You will do it easily at that speed!
