Sorry about your sad news.
I find running 5k is a great way to unwind and de-stress. Enjoy your running.

Awwww so sorry to hear that awful news. I lost my mam 8 months ago. It's an awful time. But well done for starting again. I find it really helps me when I'm feeling down. Also think of my health when I'm struggling and get through it for my mam. She would be v proud, as will your dad. Hugs. X
