Graduation Run

I am now a Runner! This is a personal victory nothing short of a miracle for me. This moment was made possible by Glaxo Smith Kline, Punk Rock, memories of s***e PE teachers, middle age angst and perimenopausal anger, six months of training in my Saucony Guides, and a new love for endurance running that I hope will never leave me now. Special thanks to my family and friends for all of the encouragement to get here. I plan to consolidate as long as I can get outside but am determined not to let this virus get me. There were a few tears today reaching this point, next stop Bridge to 10K!

Congratulations... the impossible becomes merely a miracle, and eventually it becomes easy... you’ll see that last bit towards the end of that next adventure ! Celebrate well, take some time to consolidate a little then go cross that bridge.
