Is it me or are lots of people graduating this week?

I suppose a lot started (like me) in early January. Anyway it is great to see.

Its a wonderful program and works and this site is the best place to be while taking part. Congratulations on your graduation and to all the others. I've been running for over 2 years now and hate it if I can't get out for any reason, it becomes quite addictive doesn't it!?!

It certainly does! I have to stop myself going everyday

I know exactly what you mean! I always want to go out for another run as soon as I get home. Luckily my work schedule is too crazy right now so I don't actually run every day... I would probably injure myself pretty quickly if I did.

I think it's so lovely that there is a sudden burst of graduation - it means that the New Year's Resolutioners didn't give up - brilliantly done all of you!

I didn't start on a New Year's Resolution. It was a New Life Resolution. Took me slightly longer than 9 weeks to complete the programme, but don't they say that you need to do something for 12 weeks before it becomes a life habit? At least I only have to keep running for another week and a half for that to kick in!

I started on January 20, so not a new years resolution for me, but I'm sure you're right that some of them are. I don't think there's ever been a new year's resolution that I've ever stuck to, so kudos to those how have! :)

"how have" ?? I blame that on the virtual champagne. :P

I was just about to whinge about the fact that I asked for my graduate badge on Monday but haven't got it yet... but look! I do! Wee bit disappointed by the lack of fireworks and champagne corks, but I'm very pleased with myself for finishing. Can't wait to get stuck in to my post-grad training regime now.

Pop! Bang! Whoooooooosh! :D

There you are - champagne and fireworks, for all the recent graduates! And don't all those lovely badges look good?

New Life Resolution sounds good. :) I think I've just got to about 13 weeks since I started, so I must be stuck with this running now! :)
