Birthday run W9R1 ✅

[JaoJao]

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?

[JaoJao in reply to backintime]

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

Lovely pic and happy 40th! I need to remember to download Strava ready for Wednesday and your sprint to the finish line... So close now!

[JaoJao in reply to Debston]

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

[Debston Graduate in reply to JaoJao]

Ah, thanks, I thought I needed Strava for some reason! 😂

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.

[JaoJao in reply to RandMR6M]

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

[RandMR6M Graduate]

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.
