Hi all

Just popping in to say hello and how is everyone. Really sorry not to have contributed for a while, but I do always recommend the forums to people needing support and advice. It’s just that I can’t keep up with all the different groups I’m on, though I see some of you on Facebook/beyond C25k and some of you are Facebook friends.

I’m well. After a year of struggling, I discovered I’m allergic to my inhaler, which was making me ill and unable to run very far. As we are down to just one dog and no cats, I don’t have a problem with breathing now, so am running without.

I’ve switched shoes to Altra, which are foot shaped and zero drop, and absolutely love them.

I’m currently doing a challenge (a spin-off from Marcothon) to run a minimum of 1000 or 2021km or 1000 or 2021miles in 2021. Blenheim half is cancelled for the second year, so I hope to run a half on my own - I’m still building back my distances after a year of ill health.

Oh, and I’ve had the first Covid vaccination

I hope all of you are well and still enjoying running xxx

Hi! Good to hear from you, Flick. Glad you are still running and hopefully getting over the health niggles you've had. I changed my inhaler too last year too and ditched some evil tablets which were giving me nightmares! Hope you are keeping well and positive during these unsettling times and finding nice running routes near your new(ish) place. X

Thank you 😊 Plenty of places to run here, but awful weather. This winter is never ending! X
