Last night a shared a little emotional moment after a run that I thought would be beyond me. whilst I felt a bit silly at the time I am really touched and overwhelmed by the support here.

I think the modern world gives social media so much bad press, mostly deserved outright now I couldn't have had any better support.

Thank you so much, I hope to return the kindness to many throughout my c2k journey

That is just as it should be... this is a special place. We are a running family... all shapes, sizes, ages, abilities and lifestyles... we encourage, support, empathise, and sympathise, cajole and commiserate...:)

Wherever we are on our running adventures.. we all need each other..... and for many it keeps us going.... I love it!

Well done you!

I absolutely hate social media and it deserves the bad press. I am not on any other social media platforms other than twitter for Parkrun info which is always so positive and this amazing forum which I love.

Best wishes to you on your running journey.

I also absolutely hate social media and only have twitter that I don’t use often and this forum. I love this forum because it is just real, we aren’t competing with each other over who is the fastest or looks the best , we’re all on our own journey and it’s lovely to feel the support on here .

Good luck with your running , you will always find support here!

This is different social media. No one wants to be a celebrity, we all support and care about each other, encourage, share our experiences and are ticked pink by our fellow VRBs achievements. Floss is right we are a family. Consider me your honorary aunt.

And an emotional out flow is not unusual here.
