OH MY HOLY GOD !! I have actually graduated!!

When I say I, I obviously mean we (Mouse and I) but I’m delighted!! Tbh it wasn’t my greatest run however we did it!!

We were joined by Gremlins πŸ€·πŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸ˜³ so my app stopped working on the warm up and at one point I might have dropped my phone πŸ™„πŸ˜‡ (don’t tell my husband πŸ˜‰)

To prepare for the run I tried to expel all fluids πŸ€§πŸ˜­πŸ’© πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

I think it was hard as I am mid block at work so was tired. My celebration tonight is me working. So please someone have the celebration for me ☺️ 🍻🍾πŸ₯‚

I want to thank the amazing people on here. You are all absolutely bloody amazing and I love you all. Truly 😘😍

What do we do now? 😳😳😳😳

The problem is due to shift work it’s easier to be me and Mouse. But I would love to try one to see if I could do it ☺️

Well done Ibot and mouse! Congratulations to you both. That you can run when you are on nights is amazing. All I could ever do was roam round the house growling and bemoaning not being able to sleep. I did always fancy a Chinese takeaway on the way home though.......but of course you can’t get one. Enjoy your celebration whatever you decide to do πŸŽ“πŸŽ“πŸŽ“
