Old Frank

[rolysmate]

Had a phone call this evening from his daughter to tell me he passed away on Sunday, off for a run now and this ones for Frank.

Rest in peace old lad.

I’m so sorry to hear this. Rest in peace Frank.

Go run it out buddy. Xx

Thanks Lass, I ran my arse off!

Run him a good one... xxxx

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Oldfloss]

Aye there Flossy, if the amount of sweat currently pumping out of me is any indication I ran him a belter

[icklegui Graduate]

Condolences, rolysmate. Have a good run for him and for yourself. x

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to icklegui]

Oh I did

[Gabby08 Graduate]

Sorry to hear that. It’s the first anniversary of my step-daughter’s death today and I’d like to run for her too but I’m still recovering from Sunday’s race. Perhaps I’ll squat for her instead but it doesn’t have quite the same ring to it xx

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

A sad day for you xx

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

She was severely disabled and we were blessed to have her for as long as we did. I find running helps me find perspective. I hope you found solace in it too. It’s lovely that you wanted to run for him xx

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Gabby08]

He had become quite dear to me

[Gabby08 Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

I’m so sorry for your loss xx

[Hidden]

Really sorry. I remember you posting about him before. You’ve been a good mate to him. Journey well Frank, and run like the wind rolysmate x

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Hidden]

4.5 miles Flick and I was moving a bit, stitch at 3 miles now that's a 1st but ran through it --- last mile was just over 10 mins

[Hidden in reply to rolysmate]

You were running on emotional energy.

[Anthie Graduate]

Sad news: I remember that incredible post by Mummycav about running through her memories of her mother; you may experience that on your next run for Frank. Run, run, run...

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate in reply to Anthie]

Memories are wonderful xx

[Hidden]

Been out so just got the post and saw your sad news. Well done on running for Frank and such a good run too. You were a good friend to him in life and a great credit to him in his passing.

[Lizzisforliving Graduate]

So sorry to hear your sad news, but you've paid a lovely tribute to him.

Keep running and living. X

[Mummycav Administrator Graduate]

[Fishypieface Graduate]

Oh no, that very sad news. Sounds like he was one of the good ones, who's touched your heart and will stay in there. Life can be both wonderful and terrible at the same time. Thinking of you xx

A patient who became a friend

[ancientrunner Graduate]

Sorry to hear your sad news.

[Elfe5 Graduate]

I'm sorry to hear that roly, I remember you posting about Frank before. If you ran until you had a stitch, then you ran him proud! 😄

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Oh yes I had a stitch, hit me at 3 miles but ran through it and I haven't sweat like that for some time

[Anniemurph Graduate]

I'm sorry to hear that - condolences. I'm glad you ran well for him x

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

We'd only known one another for a few years but in that time we'd grown quite fond of each other
