I can't quite explain why I felt this was so uplifting, but please watch it and maybe someone else can put it into words...

I watched and enjoyed it, and amusingly spent time thinking about their running styles and speed! Slightly obsessed!! Sorry can't capture it in words for you. X

I loved that. I didn't expect to but I did. The man with the father with dementia moved me (my mother has alzheimers) but then so did the others too. Sometimes it just gets to you - people are amazing, each in their own way. Thanks for this. I'm glad I watched it.

Made me laugh and made me shed a tear! What a fantastic film. Ordinary people with stories, making more sense of their lives through running. Loved it - thanking you for sharing. (Now know what to wear when it snows!) x

What interesting people runners are! One day I hope I too will be able to run and converse!

Not sure I'll get that far. Never say never I suppose or I wouldn't be running now.

Beautiful. Different people. Different journeys. Guess we all have our different reasons, histories and motivators for running. We need to keep hold of them for whenever our mojo wavers... And agree, how easy was it for them to chat?! I'm not sure Id be able to verbalise even my name and address, even if my life depended on it! Lol!

Thankyou for posting this, it was very moving to watch, and it made me want to get out there and run! I can't quite imagine being able to talk and run at the same time, but maybe one day!

Thanks for video link and I have been very inspired by the simplicity of what makes us tick through challenging ourselves to run, testing our inner thoughts and strengths in a positive and mental attitude. It just goes to show we can conquer those doubts and sacrifices we daily endure in our lives and not realise it. Saying that... we can inspire hope and dreams to others to get out there and enjoy the pleasure of running and the essence to life as we live only once! One little tip I have tried pronouncing the vowels A... E....I...O...U....and the least known letter Y, get those cheek and mouth muscles in check..ha!

I'm so pleased others liked it too. I guess the common link is that running gives us the space to stand back from our problems and the endorphins to cope with them!
