It's just hit me - I've done week 9 r3 and it feels totally unreal. Me - running for 30 minutes without stopping. I've just roughly mapped my run and I managed about 4.68k - so in a couple of weeks I might try one of those park runs.
Right now time for a shower and then I'm off to meet my running buddy who did her graduation run this morning too. We'll be dancing in the streets.

Absolutely brilliant Parkbirdy! Congratulations to you and your running buddy - I foresee a lot of celebrating going on today and why not, you deserve it!! Its a great feeling to have come so far and realise what you have achieved; a very emotional moment indeed!
Enjoy your day, go get your shiny green badge and welcome to the Grad Club!! Sue x
thanks everyone - now it's the battle to run the full 5k and whittle away those pesky minutes to get it under 30 mins. I've got a feeling that could take me a good month - will try to do a park run before the end of january in the best time I can manage.
CONGRATULATIONS GRADUATE!!!!!!! What an awesome way to welcome in the New Year!!!!! I say go for it! Just do a Parkrun! The week of my graduation, I ran in an organized 5K. I'm still not near a 30 min./5K but it was an experience worth doing!!! Have a great time celebrating and congratulations to your running buddy as well!!!! Gayle
Congratulations, park!! Oh, what a wonderful achievement for you and for your running buddy!! You have so very much to be proud of and I hope that the smile on your face is HUGE!! You absolutely deserve to celebrate and enjoy your accomplishment!!
The parkrun is a marvelous idea!! You are very close to the 5K distance and you are definitely ready!! Go for it!!
Now, I think that it is about time for you to request that gorgeous "Graduate" badge!! You have most certainly earned it!!
Congratulations! I can't wait for that feeling you have described but I know I still have a lot of work to do yet. Thanks for the inspiration and keep running"
