Sooooo - I had plans to have a date with MJ to celebrate my graduation runniversary on the 18th. I was looking forward to revisiting W1R1, but jog/running, not walk/jogging. It was planned for this Sunday - the 18th. I was looking forward to it very much, a bit of light relief after all these long runs I’ve been doing of late.

But I graduated on the 10th. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈπŸ˜³ Whaaaat? πŸ™„

So wooooo, happy runniversary last Saturday me. πŸŽ‰

I’ll run with MJ next week anyway. I’ve promised him! πŸ‘πŸ˜€πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

πŸ˜‚ how could you miss a date with MJ? πŸ˜‚ Happy runniversary anyway! Love the idea of jog/run instead of walk/run for the anniversary πŸ‘πŸ»

I know, how could I? I’ve been convinced it was the 18th, but when I checked this morning I realised! Numpty. πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ But I won’t let him down, I’ll meet him for our date next week instead! πŸ˜€

So you still marked the event – kind of.

This forum needs a calendar feature into which we can enter runniversaries, race events, birthdays, etc.

Beachcomber66Graduateβ€’ in reply tocheekychipmunks

I am certainly up for a run on Sunday cc. Will have to be after lunch for me, but it will just be nice to mark the day, so you run when you are ready. You had me doing a panic double check on C25k, but my graduation date is the 18th!! Of course we could say the Saturday is really "the day" and do a Park Run. With a 29 Feb birthday I am pretty relaxed about celebrating stuff on the "right day".😊

Beachcomber66Graduateβ€’ in reply tocheekychipmunks

Ok, let's go for the Park Run shall we. Time I did another one anyway! Legs should have shaken off today's 13k by then, and starting time requires no coordination. On non 29th years I always celebrate on the 1 March and 28 Feb just to make sure I hit the right day😊. Last time I had a "proper" birthday all of our "kids" were home at the same time; very special.

cheekychipmunksGraduateβ€’ in reply toBeachcomber66

Sounds perfect to me. Luckily the lady I often run with (our dogs are friends) won’t be there as she’s off at another PR next weekend so I can concentrate on jogging/running with MJ. Should be a hoot! πŸƒβ€β™€οΈπŸƒπŸ•

I somehow thought I graduated on 18th August last year - I checked and it ended up being the 10th. No idea why I had the 18th in my mind - I remembered the date I started C25K. I’ll still make the runniversary, just a bit late! πŸ™„πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ
