Firstly I want to apologise late to responding to posts. I am getting used to working normal hours now so all a bit full on and real!! But I will respond as love reading how everyone is doing, so inspiring ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒˆ โญ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒˆ โญ๏ธ๐Ÿ’ช๐ŸŒˆ

Yesterday I headed back to my old running ground Battersea Park, where I completely and utterly feel in love with running ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐโค๏ธ๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ๐Ÿฅฐ. Wow, wow and wow. ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„ I cannot even begin to describe how truly amazing and magical I felt being able to run round the park again, last time was 30th December. It literally felt like everything and more to me and I truly felt the magic and sparkle all around me ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐ŸŒˆ. I have a tree in the park that is really special to me (sorry, I did say I was tree mad!) I call it my โ€œtree of hopeโ€ ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒโญ๏ธ๐ŸŒฒand since March 2020 I have admired this tree through all the sessions and watched it blossom and have been reassured in the fact that happy days will return again and I will experience lots of happiness! Well after being able to run round the park I knew I had to visit my tree of hope ๐ŸŒณ ๐ŸŒณ ๐ŸŒณ and take some photographs it felt so magical to witness the new buds on my tree a true sign to me already of the hope and happiness I have experienced especially over the last few months ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿงธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿงธ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿงธ

I felt really comfortable running around the park, feeling strong again. unfortunately my Fitbit ran out after my second km so donโ€™t have my times but my first two Kmโ€™s were 5.48 & 5.27. I am so looking forward now to go out running for 30 minutes. Thank you for all your support it means the world.

Happy running xxx

Thank you so much Ian, it really does feel so brilliant to be back out there again, wasnโ€™t so sure I was going to be able too!

It was great I ran down the pathway that I used to run when I started the first C25K such lovely memories, running really has changed my life.

Thank you for the picture.

I will do Ian, very special tree.

Enjoy your next run ๐ŸŒˆ๐Ÿฆ„๐Ÿƒ๐Ÿปโ€โ™€๏ธ

Well done and great pace. Happy running. I love this time of year, new life all around, lambs in fields, budding leaves on trees and flowers blossoming. Starting to get a little warmer day by day too.

Every post you write is full of such energy and happiness and is truly inspiring. Loving the Tree of Hope. ๐ŸŒณ

It sounds like you had an amazing run, and now youโ€™ve reached Graduation Week for the second time.

A Double C25k Graduate ๐Ÿ…๐Ÿ…how cool will that be to throw casually into a conversation....oh yeah C25k, itโ€™s really good that, Iโ€™ve completed it twice........๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ๐Ÿ˜ฎ.

Your times are off the scale, when it comes to running, youโ€™re a sports car whereas I am....wait for it.......an old Coach ๐Ÿ˜‚

๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ. ๐Ÿƒโ€โ™‚๏ธ

Keep up the good work, Iโ€™m looking forward to reading all about your Graduation Week runs and as agreed Iโ€™ll be out there virtually running a 5k with you on the big one W9R3 ๐Ÿพ๐ŸŽŠ
