My boy knows me so well, and for my birthday a few weeks ago he gave me a token for 5 runs with him ( my best present). I used my first one this week.... we chatted, freaked out the cows and just had a laugh really. Im so pleased running has brought us closer.
Have a great weekend of running and enjoy it.
Happy Panthering

That's really lovely. I would be over the moon if mine did that for me.
I'm hoping that I can persuade my teenager to come along to a parkrun with me, as I think she'd really enjoy it & I love the running so much now that I'd like to get the children into it while they are young so they don't miss out!
Leon joined me half way through C25k ( I bribed him!). But thankfully he took to running. We did many Parkruns and he often came on HM runs with me in his early teens which he ribs me about now! If you can get your teenager on board i think it can make a big difference to the relationship, but of course running isnt everyones cup of tea!
I think gifts of time are great. Well done to him.
Oh wow Juju! That’s such a thoughtful gift!! Lovely!! 😍😍❤️
How lovely xxxxxxx
You are the luckiest (running) Mum in the whole world. I dream of the day when one of my two proactively asks to come running with me. My birthday is in February - not conducive to offering free runs unless they are post dated!
I do feel very lucky, thankyou, and I hope yours come round... I did c25k with my daughter and she absolutely hated it, so it wasnt for her and I havent pushed it. Her World is horses 
I've the opposite, I've been trying to bully, wait no, encourage my mum into running for the last year! I really, genuinely think she'd enjoy it especially as she lives in some of the most beautiful places. We got as far as getting her gait analysis and a pair of shoes when she visited last year (on her insistence, I'm not really a bully!) , but she's not yet got out in them. Arg mum, humour me, I'm sure you'll love it! Maybe I'll try giving her some free run vouchers for Christmas 🤔
Do a deal, get her to run, and you give her your houseboy hoover companion for christmas...?!!
Running with your kids is great. My daughters are a bit younger, but I'm lucky they love running too, and I hope to be running with them at events when they are old enough to enter.
That’s such a lovely present 💝 have a super weekend yourselves 🤗
Aww that’s so lovely. Hope to get my 13 year old son out with me too. He prefers his bed and I love my early morning runs! 💁🏻♀️ Xx
could you do an incentivised deal?!!
Cold hard cash always works! 🤣
I tried offering a McDonald's sausage McMuffin as a bribe if mine did Parkrun with me. Not even that worked!
Hi I like going out with daughters for a run. Glad you had a good mother and son run🏃♀️🏃♂️
I bet thats so lovely.....
I love walking with my 22 year old son! ( Not got him into running yet!!) He dropped out of uni this year and is living back at home!! Feel I’m getting to know him better too! (He got me 5 lovely pairs of running socks for my birthday! One of my best presents!! )
To give your time is everything.🤔
Your boy has done good.👍
He has got great pace also.☄️
He is a credit to you.👏👏
My wife and two daughters have been runners,things can change.
Somehow I have caught up and I am running.
I now have 4 grandchildren.
I intend to run forever now and I would just love if I ever received such a present from one of them.
Enjoy it all Julia.💥🏃♀️🐆👑💥
Hi am trying to get my sister running I no she will like it at the moment she keeps making excuses 🤨couch 25k would be ideal for .her
Yes the programme and the forum.
Motivational magic.
Tell her for every one hour she will run she gives herself 7 hours of additional life.
Tell her also that the mitochondria in our muscles can be renewed to give her a fitness, health, wellness and balance in her life that will surprise her.
What’s not to like.
It’s only running that can really do it.
Atb.,💥🏃♀️🏃♀️💥👏👏
Thanks I Will tell her all that good advice, let you no how I get on 😁
Hi Jenny, just medical facts.
Exercise and hopefully for your sister, running, is mandatory and we all know there is a price to pay if we do not do it.🤔
Of course it is the individuals choice.👍
I just took up running this year at 75.Best decision of my life.💥🏃♀️🏃♀️💥👏👏
I suggested it to my sister but she’s having none of it!!! 😂
We won't give up on them 😁
That’s so lovely, quality time is so important, I remember my eldest son as a 6 yr old at Christmas time telling me he had no pocket money left to buy me a present, so he grabbed an empty Tesco bag and proclaimed he was going to fill it full of love for me instead,still makes me bleary eyed 13 yrs down the road! Enjoy each and every one of those runs with your wee boy xx
What a really thoughtful and lovely gift! You’ve clearly raised a kind and generous young man. xx😊❤️
Thankyou so much xx
Love this post.My teen boy is I hope, making mental notes seeing me get in to running but has joined a running club in school just once so far. He's needed a new pair of trainers of course so the fabulously expensive Brooke's shoes might get him out there with me one day! I console with thinking that even as a role model my fitness & fun with this will rub off at some point.
Lovely present, lovely mum.
Lovely Ju... You have had some lovely runs with your Boy xxx
I cannot wait until small runner in training wants to run with her Loopy Grammy... as it is she out- runs me now
What a lovely thoughtful present.
That's a lovely & very thoughtful gift 😁 I was just telling my 8 year old about this and he said "shall I do that for your birthday mum" awww
Just beautiful ju-ju-!! You must have been and still being a great mum to your boy for such a loving gesture. Have a fab weekend
That is so lovely ju-ju! Bless him! ...still trying to get mine on board - not hopeful, sadly!😒
It must be fab to run with your son 😃. Quality time that you’ll both treasure 🙂
I’ve run once with my niece. Hope to do so again before too long My husband invested in shoes but that’s where it ended 🙄
How lovely...mum's and their boys...very special 😍
