Sorry it’s late, I turned 40 on Saturday 1st June and I wanted to start the day with a run (ofcourse!)... and this was a special run as I enter the final week now.

I have also completed W9R2 this morning. I can see the finish line, I can see it! 😊😊😊

and we're ready to join you in your graduation run on Wednesday!

Do you have any information on how to do whatever we have to do to upload distances etc?

Thank you so much 🙏

The website seems to be very light on the details. I quite liked the toolkit, has a certificate and might use that for my picture x

Thank you Debston! It means a lot! I don’t have Strava, I’m just doing the run and have printed the certificate template which I’ll post later xx

A belated Happy Birthday. So sad that I can't join in Global Running day because of a sprained ankle but best of luck for later on.

Oh please take care of the sprained ankle, I had that last year and it’s not nice. How did you do it?

I have no idea - it that doesn't sound too crazy. I did a run and wasn't conscious of any twist or sprain but I was running over rocks alongside a river. Anyway I felt a twinge a day or so after but my ankle got better and then I ran again. This time my ankle really protested afterwards - swollen and quite painful.

I understand that rest and recover is the name of the game but I do so miss running.

Best of luck with your run if you haven't already done it - but if you have massive congratulations.
