W9R3 Smile

[uncle_wiggy]

And there it is....

Chose to do this run as the sun was coming up, before hardly anyone was around. Without music and earphones.

I just didn't want distraction. I wanted to focus on every step & every breath, everything I've achieved, physically and mentally. Every comment made and recieved on this forum.

There wasn't confetti cannons, banners & whoops.... There was a smile of contentment, that 9 weeks ago, would not usually be there at this time in the morning!

Happy running everyone... And thank you 🤗

[Dragonflies Graduate]

Congratulations uncle wiggy, what a beautiful, contemplative grand finale run 🏃‍♂️🏅. Well done you. I hope that great feeling of achievement will stay with you for you to build on to continue on your running journey 👏👏👏

[uncle_wiggy Graduate in reply to Dragonflies]

Thank you Dragonflies, I'm certain it will stay with me. I struggle with mosquito bites in the summer... But this running bug is one I don't mind being bitten by! 😁

[misswobble Graduate]

Well done.,💪👍😃🏅🏃‍♂️

It’s an amazing feeling isn’t it Just you and the run. Epic!

Running with just your own thoughts is fine I like the solitude of the quiet run Just you and the view. It’s good medicine 😃

[Hidden in reply to uncle_wiggy]

Thanks W6R2 for me this morning was glorious in sunny country lanes. Can’t believe we’re having such lovely weather to start on this running journey 😊

[uncle_wiggy Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I know! When I started in September I knew that I wanted to get into the stride of running before the clocks change etc. I'm prepped for darker and colder runs already.... Apparently summer beach bodies are made in the winter 🤣 we'll see about that! 😂

[Wimborne]

Sounds a perfect finish. 🙌 big congratulations. Looks beautiful out there too.

[uncle_wiggy Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thank you Wimborne, it was a great run in every sense... In 9weeks I've gone from not understanding runners & just fancying a challenge to totally getting it... Pure satisfaction 😊
