What a player and a runner,I was told to make a post.I am finding the e-mailing more difficult than the running,shows my age I suppose, but I hope my efforts helps fellow strugglers on the way.πŸ‘

What a mentor and a player,I have tried to get a badge but I am directed to go to an administrator, but I do not have one,my computing skills are not very good,so I may end up badge less.

You will not end up badge less Lollipop. I will make sure of that.

You are an inspiration to every single one of us and your achievements is absolutely spectacular. Never again will anyone be able to use age as an excuse for not trying this plan.

Best wishes for your running future.

Keep running, keep smiling.

Thanks for the offer of helping the badge quest,the relationship with my IPad and I are not so good,it must be my age! I will keep running but I shall be amazed if I run much more than 30 minutes at a time ,but onward ever onward.✌

Well done! Just the post I needed after today. Graduated on Wednesday - so today was the first day without a 'target'. And it was HARD. Allowed myself to pause whilst I looked for traffic before crossing the roads, and also allowed myself to walk whilst I blew my nose. Probably a mistake. WHEN will I feel like I can do it easily? It is, at the moment, a 'trudge'. On the other hand - feel I definitely have more stamina, don't get (nearly as) out of breath when I walk up even slight inclines, and I DO feel a tremendous amount of pride in myself. Onwards and gently upwards. x
