Graduation Day!!!

Well that's that then, just done week 9 run 3.

I am proud of myself, it has been hard and I nearly gave up a couple of times (like I did about week 4 last year!) but all you lovely and highly motivational people have, to be frank, kept me going.

I am a bit disapointed I did not manage the 5K part despite running for just over 30 mins, I did choose a route with a long steep uphill (and then down again) which slowed my pace a little, I also have a cold and my breathing is not great, but I managed the usual 2.8 miles. I can know work on the magical 5k 30min mark over the next few weeks.

Anyway, I would like to thank my producer, my parents, my fans and most of all you. ;-)

Now how do I get the magic green box?

It is a good feeling, although I didn't realise till after I had run that it was my graduation run!
