No, it’s no fluke if you’ve been following the programme! πŸ˜€ It’s just an amazing feeling, isn’t it?

I’m aiming to graduate at the weekend and I’ll be cheering you on at the finish line πŸ†πŸ

Beat of luck!

Thanks David. Can't believe how far I've come. I have always had reasonable level of fitness but never for running! Good luck with the rest of your runs πŸ‘

Well done, Saartjie - really encouraging as I’m doing W8R3 tomorrow morning. Not quite sure that I like it, but always delighted once I’ve finished. The podium is in sight for you πŸ‘πŸ‘

You want to try being a short, fat, (5 days off) 52 year old and running 🀣
