The Hall household is going to be very crowded tonight... I hope there is room for one more!

Thank you to Laura, to the NHS and to this wonderful community - what a ride!

One last rainy and wonderful run and that is it - 9 weeks (or so) of running completed! Busy getting ready for our Canadian Thanksgiving this weekend, I will be humming Laura's tunes for one last time as I bake my pumpkin pies .... (I must say Laura- I've really had enough of you and Julie)

Well done. What's your next goal?

Thank you! hmmm... good question. I would like to / need to loose weight. I am one of those people who have lost inches but not pounds.

I look forward to running 10K... this seems very far away right now. I think my first step will be to continue with running 5k 3x a week until it becomes an easy run and then start the push again. I would love a 5-to10K programme!

What did you do after you graduated?

I only graduated last Saturday, and haven't run since due to cold type bug. But like you i intend to carry on with 3x30min runs per week for a while. Maybe aim for 10k next year.

Thank you Steve! I have really felt the support of you and Gayle which helped through the final weeks. Bubbly it is!, there are a lot of graduates this week!

You are right, tomorrow is my birthday - thank you for the bday wishes! I am hoping for running gear/gift certificates (or I might just treat myself!)

I look forward to hearing about your next adventures in running!

Thanks Gayle, I have a big grin on my face. I have to say that since reading your blog I have had "if you're happy and you know it" stuck in my head.

I am definitely ready to celebrate! So much to be thankful for! As I said to Steve, your support is one of them! Thank you!

Don't worry, I always make extra pumpkin pie (did apple crisp this year too- just in case).

Thanks Sue! I will enjoy, I will take a break from running until Tuesday (at which time I will atone for my overindulgences!)

Good luck with Week 7, you're almost there!
