Best live blogging award - Malcy for his excellent commentary while running the Great North Run

totally have to agree, MALCY is C25Ks own little mascot, great comments of encouragement, funny tales and in depth reports and also for his amazing hard work with the C25K 50x50 team

Too many to choose from!

Phil for amazing progress over the last year.

[Maria211081 Graduate]

IannodaTruffe, because he always takes the time to offer very sound advice to newbies; he's definitely helped me with my progress so far. Also, his posts are very entertaining!

[Tracey001 Graduate in reply to Maria211081]

I'd second that.

[Lippie in reply to Maria211081]

[SBG356 Graduate]

Swanscot for amazing running locations and continued sensible advice!

Absolutely all of the above for different stories and encouragement. How about the one that made us laugh the most or how about the contender for the most replies.

i would also like to put in a plug for Delia.

Great post

[Hidden]

Too many...but the first person to really get me believing was TJ. Cheers

[Malcy Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Me too - TJ was my inspiration, the one who held up the light at the end of the tunnel for us all to see the way through the darkness. How poetic ...

[gypsydepp Graduate]

Oldgirl and TJ

Down to earth advice and encouragement x

[Feefbev Graduate]

Oldned for his support, encouragement and advice!

Completely support the innuendo award for Danzargo!

[deekay64 Graduate]

Greenlegs... every time I struggled or had a crisis of confidence she was there with sound advice and encouragement. Thank you!

[Poppy2010 Graduate in reply to deekay64]

seconded! slow and steady is the mantra for all C25K newbies ( and graduates on doing longer/further/uphill/whatever!)

[ju-ju- Graduate]

also...oldgirl...I love her drive....Oldned because he is inspirational, and Landesman for his wonderful support, Greenlegs helped me so much at the start...... I want to say everybody!!!!

[danzargo Graduate]

It's a tie for me between Juicyju, iannodatruffe, oldned, Delia, Linda, feefbev, oldgirl, greenlegs, suzibenj, jigglemooce, SBG356, aftabs and Malcy. Dead heat!

[DeliaItaly Graduate]

People -- this is so, so hard!

When Sue and I met up in Bloomsbury on Monday -- very Virginia Woolf and John Maynard Keynes, n'est pas? -- she had a list of over eighty names of "Old Gangers" and beyond, all of whom could be nominated for some reason or other. So we definitely need categories -- As well as the truly high achievers (Phil; Swan; Aftabs etc.) and super supporters (and crickey there are lots of those! OldGirl; Rollertoaster etc.) Just for starters, how about "Best supporting partner?" (e.g.; Mrs Ned; Mrs Danzargo; Mrs Malcy; JiucyJu Junior etc.) -- "Best performance in a kayak" -- didn't mean that to sound ambiguous, honest -- and, of course we need a jury. This is getting complicated!

I just think you are all great!

[Btw have a brilliant idea for the meet up -- more later]

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

My nomination is for the C25k forum as being one of the happiest and most supportive places on the whole of the interweb!
