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

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‘
