Only 1 to go 😱😱

Week 9 was a pipe dream all those weeks ago and now I suddenly have only 1 run left. Last nights run was good - lots of uphills and downhills but I did it and got home with a super sized smile on my face. I’m so thrilled to be looking at my last run of this challenge - and very excited at what next.

Happy running everyone. πŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸΆπŸƒπŸ½β€β™€οΈπŸŽ‰πŸΆ

Aww I can hear the excitement in your post...

I love reading posts when people are closing in on the graduation run!

It’s such an amazing journey for us all isn’t it?

Your so right to describe it as a pipe dream week 1...

I read ahead snd after struggling for 60 seconds week 1 I thought wow!.. I will never get there... but week by week we tick those runs off!

I can’t wait to read your graduation post!

Well done! Be very proud! Such an amazing achievement πŸ‘πŸ‘πŸ‘ 🏁 πŸŽ“

I’m excited for you! Celebrate in style πŸ₯‚πŸΎ

You are so kind! It’s been a fabulous journey - mentally and physically. I am excited for tomorrow’s final run but really excited to see if I can maintain this feeling and drive. Thank you for the kind words.

In answer to your maintain the feeling of drive?

No problem! By the time graduation comes you have well and truly been bitten by the running bug πŸ‘
