We all have our gremlins, we all have our fears... but we all have our inner strength.

Evil must never be allowed to triumph..no matter how afraid we are.

A huge shout out, for our amazing and inspirational poppypug , who has shown and continues to show us how to let our strength carry us forward :)

This is for those who run tomorrow ...

But for us, this is for Pops at the Great Manchester Run tomorrow...x

Nice one floss, you've taken the words right out of my mouth! Last year I had the pleasure of meeting up with Chris (poppy) in Manchester and we had a lovely day, it was great to run the same run together and we all joined hands to go over the finish line (all of us from c25k). Like you I would like to wish Chris a lovely memorable day tomorrow and with a smile, come on you mancunians! xxx

It felt safe Jacs , there was a huge Police presence , armed police out in force . I went to St Ann's square after to see the tributes . It was overwhelmingly sad , but it felt just so still and peaceful . A guy was there playing a harp , it was beautiful xxx
