I graduated on Tuesday in week 8 as I was challenged to run 5k and donate to the NHS (online campaign)

Today I ran again but took a wrong turn and accidentally ended up running 6k!

I’m so very proud of myself, I have never in my life run for that distance before (although not sure I’m ready to repeat that just yet)

You’re very kind. I’m having a Peroni to get over the shock

You are not the only person that ran 6K, I ran 6K yesterday, it was the longest run I have ran this year, I am running 2 runs a week just now, a 5K virtual parkrun on a Saturday at parkrun time, on a Wednesday I am running and gradually increasing by 1K a week until I get to 10K.

Well done and thank you. I'm a Nurse in the NHS when I see or hear things like your post it makes my job and all my colleagues jobs worth while. Thank you again xx

You are amazing and thank you to you. I’m also a key worker working in education and part of a small team of staff looking after kids of those on the front line. I see how exhausted you all are and I hope my small contribution at work and in sponsorship goes some way in supporting you all
