Welcome Merriwink... I did say “aaah”, when I read your post, as starting the programme and joining the forum has been such a great experience. I hope it will be the same for you! We are all here to support each other for every run along the way. Enjoy! 😁❤️

[Merriwink in reply to Fabulous450]

That’s @Fabulous450! It will be good to get a bit of support with this! Thanks for the love! ❤️

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Merriwink]

I’ve got plenty of love to go around Merriwink! I think each and every one of us is pretty amazing for deciding it’s time to get out there and do this! Yes, we can run!! Brilliant! ❤️

[Merriwink in reply to Fabulous450]

Aww I love people like you! 😊

If you need any motivation, I’ll be more than happy to give you a push! 😀

[Fabulous450 Graduate in reply to Merriwink]

Push away Merriwink! Every run is different and it’s great to have all of the support from everyone here. The endless encouragement of all those on this journey, no matter where in the programme is priceless! It isn’t likely that there isn’t someone who hasn’t experienced something that you’re experiencing during the programme, even if it’s the something challenging and they are there to let you know, you’re not alone and somehow you find the courage and inspiration to get out and go for it, time and time again! Enjoy! 😁❤️
