A customer in your shop mentions her husband has bought her running shoes for Christmas and she's never run before then you start telling her all about the programme and writing things down for her....evangelical...me?!!

That’s excellent news, loisamelia.

The conversation you had will have undoubtedly helped to allay some of the apprehension that she may held over beginning to run, leaving the shop feeling rather encouraged, by virtue of your enthusiasm for the activity.

It’s also possible that she may return, or even find you on the forum, to tell you just how grateful she is for the help and advice afforded, leaving you with a wonderful sense of fulfilment.

Somebody stopped me once when I was running, she wanted to know all about it! She didn't think she could run for 60 seconds, so we did it together and she was delighted! I told her all about C25K and this forum, I wonder if she ever got here? Or maybe she is a marathon runner and just winding me up?
