The thing I wish I’d known straight after graduation 🎓🤔😊

So maybe it was just me, and the fact that I rushed out having looked at the weather forecast, but I didn’t read enough posts in the Consolidation Club and think enough about what comes next.

The comments on the group have been really interesting and Roseabi has been creative in her advice. It seems that once W9R3 is done there are many ways to make progress.

For those who are close, good luck for graduation, read loads and take time to find out what’s right for you 😊

Thanks MinnieMoo. As someone with just one run to go and nowhere near 5k I will take time to read and decide!

Thanks MinnieMoo, I’m one run from graduating (!) and I’m already wondering what next week will look like...

Keep going, whatever you decide to do you know we’re here supporting you! x

I think that’s the great advantage of being a member of this forum . The guides and info that the admins and ambassadors have created are so worth reading and rereading as you progress along.

Also the the thoughts and ideas of fellow members who are around the same stage as you .

I find it really interesting to go back and read the posts from members who I think are perhaps similar to me in their approach or seem to have similar goals or indeed, ( like me ) have a lack of big goals but just want to keep at it 😂

These can be from graduates from months ago but who’s stories I find really interesting in that they were hitting the same stages and experiences I am right now.

It’s always great to find posts that you can think ‘yea , me too ! )

So you are absolutely right , keep running and keep reading 😃🏃🏻‍♀️
