Got my first thumbs up from a 'proper' runner when I was out today!

# Is it OK that I was so excited I nearly laughed out loud?!!

Made me run taller. So happy and proud to have got this far. Onwards and upwards 😎

Absolutely yes!!

I gave a young lad a high five yesterday at Parkrun as I was approaching the finish line & flagging (he of course had finished.......😐) & it really made me smile. Still does just thinking about it. ☺

That's awesome. I had my first 'morning' and a smile from a fellow runner today too, it felt great!

It's just so encouraging.

And everyone on here is so supportive.

I'm already starting to feel like a 'runner'

:-D That's fab! Most runners my way don't seem to go in for the wave and smile, maybe they are too intent on their work out?! ;-)

I think that "proper runner" as you say includes you :)

you have every right to be excited and proud :D
