Hi everyone I’m ‘back in the room’!!!

During lockdown I took to walking with my dogs!

However I did my first race in 2019 after qualifying and immediately signed up for the following year!

So I get an email couple months ago that I’m rolled over to 8/7/21!

I think ‘oh yea that may not happen’ ( due to the C word)

However I dug out my running shoes and it all came back to me and this Sammy snail did it!!!!! Slowly but surely on a muddy trail but in the sunshine ! Fantastic race came 175/188 and my mojo is mow back!!! So what’s next… watch this space!!

Happy running everyone!

Even though I’ve been lapse I’ve read your daily emails and have kept up with all your wonderful stories !!!

Have 🤩 fun ❤️

Wooohooo!!! Great stuff!!!! I did my first ever race earlier this year (virtual race, but still a race). And me, the ultra-slow queen of the Japanese slow jog came second to last! 🤣🤣🤣 But wow, was that fun, and my first 10k as well!

So brilliant achievement and hope to see you around this crowd. (There is also a Strength & Flex forum on HU run by the same runner’s crowd and me, that you might be interested in)
