Getting ready for my first park run at Townley Hall in Burnley. The heavens have opened and it's persisting it down..

I'll let you know how I get on, but if you see me, come and say Hi :-) x

You should be proud, it’s a heck of an accomplishment. You did this, and you probably thought that you couldn’t just a couple of months ago. You are a victory and an inspiration to all who read your post.

Cool... A year ago I had no idea I had a Saturday morning 5k within a mile of my front door. Now although injured and only having been twice I can’t wait to get back there. Running it is still a while off, but it’s a great use of a Saturday morning.

Great that you can take your huge achievement onwards and that buzz should never end. You’re an inspiration to all, and I can look at your journey and see that I have no usable excuses for not doing this. I’m fairly driven anyway, but on low days I look at my role models and pick my ass up. Thanks for being one.
