Rain and drizzle was an obstacle, however once I got going all was fine.

Not quite quick, rather slow(very) and steady, in hindsight could have managed 3k.

All in all, I thoroughly enjoyed the run.

Speed is not important. The fact you enjoyed the run absolutely is. Well done 👏 👏👏

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thank you, Runforjoy, certainly enjoyable jogging at my own pace "plugged in" to music

[Post-Op-Jogger Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Love your name Runforjoy!

[Frenc Graduate]

What a great run, rain and all! Only 2 more runs until graduation - how exciting 😊😊😊.

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to Frenc]

Thank yo Frenc, YAY, 2 more runs to graduation 💪

What with that and spring round the corner, I most certainly hope to carry on

🏃‍♂️🏃

[Frenc Graduate in reply to roadstroller]

Lol I keep thinking Spring’s round the corner but then it disappears again 🤣.

Slow and steady... that is just perfect...it will get you exactly where you want to be safely and enjoyably!" Fast enough to get there, slow enough to see".

Well done you!

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Thank you, Oldflossy.Slow steady and safe the new mantra

[Instructor57 Graduate]

Well done to you! 👏🏃🏻‍♂️🎉

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to over61andstilltrying]

Thank you,Reading your posts, you are truly inspirational.

[over61andstilltrying Graduate in reply to roadstroller]

Oh! That is very kind, but it doesn't feel that way to me. I am aware that since my knee injury I appreciate the fact that I can run more than I did before. I consider running to be an investment in my health and while I can, I hope to continue. 😊🏃🏻‍♀️

[UnfitNoMore Graduate]

Nice one. Pace comes later, if you want it to… for now you are doing this perfectly, and you’re into the last lap with the crowd cheering. See you on that podium!

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you Unfitnomore. At W1R1 I was somewhat sceptical initially and not confident particularly around the W4 mark. With progress of weeks all this gradually ebbed away.All the encouragement on this platform and "Yasmin Evans" via my ear piece has proved benefitial.

I aim and hope to be able to carry on enjoying the Runs post graduation.

[couchvssofa Graduate]

Well done and enjoy the final runs of the program. 👍🏽😀

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to couchvssofa]

Thank you Couchvssofa.Best benefit, I lifted myself of the couch. After a day's work it was far to easy to hit the recline button on the couch and simply laze the evening away.

S'funny the way you look at rain differently. If it's raining - then it's not freezing, too.Nearly there - but then - that's just the start.

[roadstroller Graduate in reply to MrBassmanjazz]

So very true 👌

[Post-Op-Jogger Graduate]

Well done! You've done 30 mins!!! I wouldn't worry about speeding up. Give yourself a pat on the back - you deserve it. Worry about speed further down the track!I just finished w8r3 and am really excited about running 30mins on Monday.
