Got me right in the feels 😌

Hi guys. I just had to share this, this morning I did my week 8 run 1 (28mins) I started nice and steady and got through it till the end 😃

Running is very close to my heart as my mum used to run the great south every year and run 4 times a week, she absolutely loved it! She always tried to get me to start but I never could really be bothered until now. Sadly my mummy died 6 years ago of a grade 4 brain tumour.she had 3 of them in her brain 😞

After my run today I got very very happy and emotional, it’s like she was there with me saying well done sweetheart I knew you could do it . I took a picture of myself strait away to capture this moment. One day I want to run the great south to make her proud 😌❤️

You've got me emotional too, Megzy! I'm sure your mum's always been proud of you but lovely you felt her with you today - what a great running buddy to have. Well done on your run: 28 minutes sounds amazing to me just starting week 3!

Oh I'm sure your lovely mum is watching over you Megzy and was with you on your run today.

Its great that you are following in her footsteps and she would be so proud of you already. You are doing brilliantly 😊x

Aw, lovely post. What a beautiful way to honour your mum, Megzy. 😘

[rolysmate Graduate]

And I'm sure you will and I'm certain that she will be immensely proud of you sweet girl

[Richard7 Graduate]

Well done Megzy - sad but lovely at the same time. Keep running and I am sure you will achieve your dreams.

[Fishypieface Graduate]

Aw blimey I'm all choked up. Your mum would be bursting with pride at your achievements. We all feel proud of you too! You are doing a brilliant job.

[Megzy24 Graduate]

Thanks so much everyone for your kind words. I know when we all finish a run we get what they call a runners high which is what I definitely get but I also feel a real connection with my mum and that’s what’s pushing me through it, I’m taking a few days break as my groin keeps pulling after I run so thought I should rest it till Thursday xx

[HeleneCorsa Graduate]

Well done Megzy - I am sure your mum would be really proud of you and I have no doubt that one day you will run the Great South in her honour. You are doing really well. Thank you for sharing this lovely post with us. xx

Absolutely sure she’s there running with you Megsy! Running is amazing for heightening the senses and I often feel my departed Dad is there pushing me on. Well done , keep it up and thanks for sharing. You will do the great South one day soon and she’ll be sooo proud of you!

[Megzy24 Graduate in reply to Andyd199]

And thanks so much for your lovely comment xx

[Irish-John Graduate]

You are obviously a nice and caring person to write as you have. I bet your Mam was already proud of you.

Wishing you many happy miles in your future - for you both.

[Irishprincess Graduate]

And one day you will run the Great South Run, I have no doubt. A big well done on getting this far 🙂

[TedG Graduate]

That’s a very emotional post which, to a certain degree, I can relate to. I lost my sister in Aug after a 3 year battle against G4 Breast Cancer. After hearing about the London Charity Santa Run in Dec, I decided it would be nice to do the run in memory of my sister.

So glad I did. At aged 69, I wish I’d done this years ago not having run in years, and though I sorely miss my sister, I look on this as something good coming out of something bad! 😊

Keep running in your mums memory, she’d be proud of you x

[Megzy24 Graduate in reply to TedG]

Thankyou so much xx

[Terimanning25 Graduate]

Bet she's watching over you and saying that's my girl... well done for your achievements up to now ❤️ And I am sure you will make it to the great south run 💪

[Megzy24 Graduate in reply to Terimanning25]

[Mummarunna Graduate]

Mums still guide and inspire and help us even after they have gone. She’s helping you to be healthy and happy and to look after yourself. I love your post.

[Megzy24 Graduate in reply to Dw58]

Thankyou for this. That’s just what I needed to hear today. Bless u xx
