You are so close now! Maybe put together a new playlist? Some people are a little disappointed in that the app doesn’t explode with joy when we graduate, but we’ll all be there in spirit cheering you on!

If you want a running buddy you could go out Saturday morning instead and graduate at parkrun. Waiting probably isn’t an option though, it wouldn’t have been for me 😂 so I’d build a special playlist as DiscoRunner suggests. Have a wonderful run.

How do you get in touch with parkrun? Sorry to sound dumb 🙈

You just register here parkrun.org.uk/ Print out your barcodes and make sure you take at least one with you, and then just turn up by 8:45 for a 9am run with lots of other people.

This will even find the nearest 10 for you touristtool.mybluemix.net/#...

Good luck for your graduation run ! Your so close and we are all with you and are your virtual running buddies.

Agree with the other comments, maybe make a special “graduation playlist” especially for that run with some umptempo music which will lift you throughout the run.

I graduated to a “Rocky” song which certainly made me feel I was on top of the world. 🥊

Treat yourself to something aswell once you’ve graduated (book/flowers or whatever you love) it’s a milestone and you should celebrate 🎉
