Yoohoo! Keep rocking it ButtercupKid !

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Thanks SAcat 😄 Hope you had a super Christmas x

[SaskAlliecat Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Sure did... and the pants were snug when I put them on this morning, but Christmas only comes once a year! Hope you had a good one too 😊

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to SaskAlliecat]

Yes thanks. Don’t worry about the pants - you’ll have your normal svelte silhouette in no time !

Hi BCK, well done on completing run 1 of week 5, I hope you and your family had a wonderful Christmas yesterday, I had, I spent the afternoon and early evening at my son in laws parents house and had a lovely Xmas dinner with them and my two grand children.

Onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 5. 🏃 😊

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Glad you had a good time with your family, AlMorr. As you expect with a houseful of autistic people, ours was variable, but no-one was broken so it’s all good 😄 I found 5:1 ok, just a matter of keeping steady, but 5:2 looks more challenging again.

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

My next door neighbour's son is autistic, however, he is a lovely 5 year old little boy, his father bought him a £1,200 labradar dog for Christmas 2017, I took that dog for a 'walk' yesterday morning, actually, there was more 🏃 running than 🚶 walking

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Dear heavens - you can buy labradors for half that up here, from reputable and registered dealers too. Glad you kept up with it all right !

[AlMorr Ambassador Graduate in reply to ButtercupKid]

Might ask my neighbour if I can take the dog out with me the next time I run a 5K, it could be a PB for me, not sure if I did a PB in around 23 minutes being 'pulled' by a dog would count.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AlMorr]

Course it would - you’re still on your own legs 😄

[molly1973 Graduate]

Well done! I hope it went well x

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to molly1973]

I just keep singing those mantras and ignoring all the funny looks 😄

[Wimborne]

Merry Christmas BCK. And wow week 5. Way to go you..... keep doing what you are doing as it’s working. So chuffed for you. 👏🌟🏃🏼‍♀️

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Thrilled for me too ! I just have to keep putting one foot in front of the other 😀 Hope you and yours had a great Christmas x

[Wimborne in reply to ButtercupKid]

We made it through in one peice which is always good for us! No major dramas thankfully so all was well. Lol.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to Wimborne]

Good to hear ! I don’t know why people think Christmas is about peace on earth - never feels that way round here 😄

[AngryFlower Graduate]

Oh well done, my running has been a bit of a Christmas casualty but hoping to get out soon. I did make it to a Boxing Day exercise class though so that’s a start.

[ButtercupKid Graduate in reply to AngryFlower]

Perfect way to dip your toe back in. You’ll be back to it in no time ! Happy running x
