I did it!

[tandrageegirl]

I did my final run this morning. I can't quite believe that I completed the programme - I guess that is testimony to how well designed it is!

Consolidation runs start on Monday - it will be great to still be part of this lovely, supportive forum.

[Teresafaith Graduate]

Congratulations- well done - get them trainers spruced up for your consolidation runs - looks like you were carrying 2k of mud with you - well impressed!🤾‍♀️👏🤸

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Teresafaith]

They're in the washing machine already! I had to go 'off piste' to avoid ice and a couple of other runners 😂

[Teresafaith Graduate in reply to tandrageegirl]

Super well done!

[Hidden]

Or testimony to the effort you put in, give yourself a lot of credit please.. 😊

Tandrageegirl, is that after the place where the crisps are made?

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you! And yes it is - that is where I am from 😊

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

I live less than ten miles from it, it's a nice spot. 😊

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Aw, always lovely to hear from people from home 😊

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

I take it you live away from here then?

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

I do. I am in Surrey - at least it is flatter than Tandragee ....

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

Yes that's a mighty hill in Tandragee lol

When was the last time you got back?

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

December 2019!

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

Not long ago then.

Clare Glen is really nice.

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

A good spot for a run, apart from the hilly bits!

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

That's true, but the hilly bits make it challenging I'm sure.

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

A step too far for me right now!

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

Sure, just enjoy the running, it doesn't really matter where you do it.

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

True. Good to be outside too.

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

It is..

I went through Tandragee today, it was deserted, but went past Clare Glen and it was packed.

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Not great, eh?

[Hidden in reply to tandrageegirl]

No, it looked a bit dangerous, some standing to close to each other.

[Hidden]

Well done, on to consolidation, enjoy it!

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you!

[Dexy5 Graduate]

[Plattszo Graduate]

Congratulations 👏

Enjoy your proper runner status and keep it up!

[Plattszo Graduate]

Oooh look! A graduate badge!! Your first running bling?

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to Plattszo]

First and last, I suspect 😂

[RunningJ123 Graduate]

As a fellow Norn Irn-er... I just discovered recently there is a Virtual Run NI of 70 miles, called Bridging The Cities.... You do it in your own time and your own routes, during 2021... It's the distance between Albert Bridge and either Craigavon Bridge or New Bridge... And you get a medal when you finish 🏅 I'm part way through it! Just thought you might be interested... Something from home😊

[tandrageegirl Graduate in reply to RunningJ123]

I love the sound of that. Alas, I am not running at all this week. I had a twingy knee in my last week of C25k and then I fell on an icy footpath and landed on the same knee. I am gutted!
