Mr Speaker

[rolysmate]

As some of you know I’ve got a lot out of the c25k program both physically and at times mentally and am totally sold on it and in fact have owned up to now being a runaholic

So far I have been able to encourage a few other people to take it up and get off the couch and want to do more

Well today I took my 1st booking as an after dinner speaker

Puffin Billys c25k journey and the road beyond, any monies I make from this will go towards my chosen charity along with sponsorship from my upcoming half marathon

[Hidden]

As there's over 40,000 of us on C25K Forum, I'm thinking your first booking is at the Albert Hall. Please tell me I don't have to buy mine through Ticketmaster...

Well done - what an inspirational chap you are!

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Hidden]

Thanks Jan and from someone running 2018 for charity I will take that as a big compliment xx

[Hidden]

That’s fantastic. You really are an inspiration x

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Hidden]

[Fishypieface Graduate]

What a great thing to do RM! Aren't you the kindest.... You'll certainly be a big inspiration. We need to see the transcript, especially if it's a funny one! Good luck.

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Fishypieface]

Think it will change a bit dependent on who I'm talking to as some might not like to hear that in the early days I was even sucking in oxygen through my arse to get enough into my lungs lol

[Fishypieface Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

Haha! Sounds like it'll be a riot!

p.s. I still am!

[deniseinbristol Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

[Elfe5 Graduate]

That's great rolysmate - I'm proud of ya!

I hope you will be speaking in all your glorious running colours. (Never mind the camouflage on this occasion!) 😃

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

Oh of course, I want folk to take notice of me

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Elfe5]

might even be a few flashing lights hehe

[Elfe5 Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

You could do with one of those whisk-off suits (like James Bond) with all your colourful gear underneath.... or maybe you should give part of your talk while running round the room??!! 😀

[TJMazz Graduate]

Wow, that’s amazing. Great to see that you want to share your passion and inspire others. Fantastic 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to TJMazz]

I feel that I have gained so much from this and the c25k program and support was responsible for me getting here

[TJMazz Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

Yes, you’re absolutely right. The support on the forum has been fundamental to my success. Go for it. Get out there and spread the word about how fabulous c25k is 🙋🏼

[Seaskimmer Graduate]

Good for you! Hope you really enjoy it x

[Anniemurph Graduate]

Brilliant! In a DJ or in your lycra? Seriously, though, that's fantastic. Well done.

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to Anniemurph]

think it will have to be in my lycra

[ju-ju- Graduate in reply to rolysmate]

[rolysmate Graduate in reply to ju-ju-]
