Hello my lovely running family...I hope you have all had a right good weekend, whether you’ve run a HM, which a few of my buddies have and I looked at their pictures with envy...or whether you’ve run 10k, 5k 3k...or been for a short, sharp run around...Whatever you’ve been up to I hope it felt good...

Thank you to everyone who wished GoGo_JoJo and I all the best in our new roles in the admin team...I feel absolutely loved and I promise I won’t let you down...you are all such a special bunch of people who inspire, advise, cheer and virtually hug, not just each other but me as well, I am so lucky to be part of such a wonderful forum...and now an ambassador, wow, she who couldn’t run the blumming tap at one time?! Running has, so far, taken me on a journey that most of you have been on with me and without you all my journey would’ve ended yonks ago...infact it would’ve been W4r3, the one that I kept repeating because I daren’t move on until I found this place. Running has changed me so much...I have determination I never thought I had, I have grit (so I’m told) that I never thought I had and I have friends who just ‘get it’ which I never thought I’d have...it makes me do things like this....

On Saturday I so wanted to run the parkrun and celebrate the 15th anniversary but with one thing or another I missed the start so that didn’t happen...when was I going to squeeze a run in now? Having a night out planned I knew time wouldn’t be on my side...so I ended up going over to the park at teatime and doing Laura’s speed podcast..I don’t know why but whenever I do intervals I feel like I’ve cheated a bit, even though there’s no walking involved it just feels like a short run...until the end when Laura tells me I’ve had a great workout...so that will do for me...This morning being Monday, I like to start my week with some interval work but because I had done that on Sat I had decided, yesterday, that because I hadn’t run a 10k for a while I would make that my run today...fast forward to this morning, after about 3 hours of sleep and a throat that felt like I’d been eating glass I kind of wanted to change my mind...I really didn’t feel like it at all, it then I remembered my new, shiny badge that I have the honour of being given...I can’t wimp out now, I have to be strong and show everyone that I am someone who can live up to expectations and that they can trust...so that’s exactly what I did...I put my big girls pants on and off I went..I had to slow right down at some points and I wasn’t fast...but I managed it..even though it felt tough in places. It I felt so much better for getting out...It wouldn’t have mattered what distance I’d covered.

I owe so much to this forum, the members and the admin, who have brought out this whole new person, with this whole new outlook...so thank you, from the bottom of my heart...you are all amazing and I wouldn’t be without you ❤️❤️

A lovely post by a lovely lady!

Good for you for getting out despite a rough night and then running 10k! No easy short little jaunt for you while you’re under the weather. You’ve got grit for sure!

I saw that 10k run Mummycav, 👀that was a huge achievement considering how you were feeling... 🤒I hope your throat feels better very soon.

You are allowed to rest up... no-one thinks that's being a wimp😀

You are so encouraging and supportive of everyone yourself and a smashing Ambassador!😊xxx

Is the badge a bit like those worn on Star Trek, winged... We all know your Graduate10 badge is there underneath it..xx

Thankyou Bluebirdrunner ...you are always there, cheering me on! You have been here right from the start and know the ups and downs of running...and the ups and downs I’ve had and even though it only been 2 years, if I think I can help someone then I will...you too Jan are an inspiration and have helped so many people xx and yes, a winged badge, I like the sound of that...and my graduate 10 badge is hiding underneath x 😊😉

Well done Mummycav!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽! Loved your post, as always!

You don’t have to be strong and show everyone that you are someone who can live up to expectations and that we can trust, because that’s already in the bag!! ✅ You’re an amazing inspiration! 🤩 Get well soon too.

This is such an amazingly supportive place to be part of. ❤️

Well done Mummycav , C25K and parkrun have changed my life too. I would not have tried parkrun if I had not done C25K. And I would not still be running if not for parkrun. In two and a half years I am two and a half stone lighter, 14 minutes faster over 5K, can run 10K and am happier and healthier now at 45 than I was at 25. I’m like a new person. I can play tag in the park with my 10 and 7 year old boys and catch them.😀

Congratulations to you on your new role. I’m not a big fan of social media, I hate Facebook and deleted my account 6 years ago and am too old to even look at instagram, I’m on Twitter but only follow parkrun. I believe strongly in positivity, and I believe we all should surround ourselves in positivity. This amazing forum is one of the most positive places to visit and you along with all the admins and Ambassadors help so greatly in keeping the atmosphere a supportive and enjoyable one. Keep up the amazing work and congratulations again.

Damien

Wow damienair ...that is a great testament...all those positives are just what this programme is about and that's what we need to keep going and pass on to anyone who's is thinking of starting c25k...it really is a no brainer!! Well done to you for everything you've achieved in such a short time!! Chasing your children around is one of my favourite points...that will make such a difference to them and they will always remember running around with their Dad...so important...and always take plenty of pictures...I hear you regarding social media, I know it has its pro's and con's just like everything but I do think children out too much on there, their lives are so public so I do reign my children in where Fb and Instagram are concerned...It'll be good to hear from you on here whenever you feel like it 😀
