Hiya all , Its the return of Sparky 66!

Im hoping some of my old running Buddies still here and running well. :)

Quick update.. I ran the C25K about a year and a half ago..

loved the community here, and the support we all gave each other!

i regretfully had to stop running as i was diagnosed with oral cancer! YUK

Gladly a year on i feel strong enough to join you all again :)

im currently on run 2 of week 2 and i feel bloody amazing!

really just hoping to catch up with you all and hopefully some of you may remember me... poppypug? Irish Princess? ooh its hard to remember all... but im sure there are lots of new friends to be made :)

I am sure i will need lots of help to get me through the following weeks!

Im so up for it, and loving being back out there pounding or rather plodding along :p

so HI and look forward to some good running stories ...

Caroline ( Sparky 66)

Welcome back! I'm not 100% sure if our paths crossed. I think so.

I am still here, still trying to complete C25K, not I am not going to stop. My running journey continues, and so is yours :)

You did it once, you can do it again!

Slow and steady! Happy running!

Sparky!!!! How fabulous to see you here again 🤗 I wondered where you went. You sort of disappeared on us, one minute you were here and the next....."where'd she go?" Now of course I know why ☹️

I'm really sorry you had to go through such a horrible time, that sounds awful. But it sounds as if you're back firing on all cylinders. Go you!

poppypug is around somewhere but sadly we don't see so much of her these days ☹️ and this place has got so much bigger but it's still the best ever community, there are still loads of lovely supportive people and we still have a few giggles on our way around 😂😂

Welcome back 🍾🎉🎈🤗💪

Having just returned myself, I was concerned at the lack of Poppypug. I hope she's ok - she used to be a prolific poster (and great Friday motivator!).

Welcome back Sparky!
