Don't stop me now....

[Slater]

cos I'm having a good time! Was that first song on my ipod this morning, though I'm not sure I'm having a good time yet.

W9R2 and I was lucky as it wasn't as cold (or wet) as I thought it might be. At times I felt quite comfortable plodding along, but around the 22 minute point I started to struggle, and ended the run going uphill, which was hard. However, I've only got one more run to go, which i was thinking about this morning, especially when Laura was talking about where we'd come from just over 2 months ago! I'm really pleased I've stuck with it so far, and really hope I can keep it up!

I'm not sure when I'll do my graduation run, as on Wednesday I start work at 5am, hopefully I'll squeeze it in one day this week though!

Well done slater! The weather has obviously improved for you to help with the transition back from caribbean weather; mind you, I think thats asking too much really!

I look forward to reading your graduation blog very soon.....

Haha yes, thankfully it wasn't *too* cold this morning. I think I've been lucky with the weather on the whole, though I'm sure my time will come to run in the elements!

Thanks Miranda, good luck completing the programme yourself!

I love that song! Well done Slater on getting to this stage, it can be a bit of a slog at this point so you deserve to feel proud.

Very good, Slater!! You have almost made it!! No worries about an extra day or two off...you will need the extra energy to shine that new "Graduate" badge that you will soon have!!

Keep Running!!

Well done Slater, you're well on course for a graduation this week.

[Slater Graduate in reply to Chewy]

Thanks Chewy, you aren't far off either! And great to read your anecdote about running across the car park, it just goes to show how far we've come. I'm still amazed about how quickly I recover after a run compared with 2 months ago. Good luck with your last few runs, though I don't think you'll need it

Well done - and thanks for the mention of that track - think i'll add that to my playlist. Good luck for your graduation - nearly there!

[Slater Graduate in reply to MotherGoose]

And vice versa - I think the Chemical Brothers might be going on my playlist Always good to hear new suggestions. Good luck with your last few runs too, not long to go now!
