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.

Well done, what a fabulous way to end the year - it does feel unreal doesn't it?

No one can ever take this achievement from you... now go build on it whichever way you want, that's the beauty of it.

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.

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!!
