Hey everyone, I just wondered is people have promised to treat themselves to something when they graduate?? Like a reward...

I hadn’t thought about this until now, will be doing W8R1 soon! Edging closer and closer 🎓

I had an ice cream on the beach after my graduation run. A graduation pic is essential - go for it!

I have just ordered some new trainers, a size bigger as I've decided I can't manage longer runs with sore feet! Will be treating myself again though on graduation.. Maybe a bottle of gin for me 😂 🎓

A common one is treating yourself to new trainers on graduation. I hear that a lot.

One of my friends is treating herself to wireless earphones (the very expensive ones!!!)

Me?? I don't really know what I would treat myself to, I've kind of treated myself along the way with little bits and bobs! Nothing too extravagent though.

I treated myself to both, new running shoes and bluetooth headphones 🤪

Best decision since I started

I bought new trainers when I graduated, love them too! Am also thinking about a sports watch 😬

I hadn’t thought but as you’ve mentioned it, it would be rude not to! 😉
