Check it out guys! They gave me this cool hat! Now, I understand that with great power comes great responsibility.. π€£ I'd like to say that this mentor business hasn't gone to my head..but look at my hat! It has.. literally!
So, I'm a mentor! Anyone that's experienced this absolutely amazing community knows that we're all mentors, we're all looking out for each other. But most people have lives and important things to do.. I don't. So if you have any questions, or you just want to talk about how AWESOME C25K is... I'm your friendly neighbourhood mentor.
Loving the hat CL! Like so many others, you have motivated me to continue my journey! Itβs been fab reading about your 10k but donβt know how you have done it so fast! Iβm still chasing my 5k.
βHow a hat makes you feel is what a hat is all aboutβ
Emlist!... Get out of the shadows and into light! I miss you! π
I was a runner before I came here... I had an illness that destroyed me, and I'm just thankful to be out there again.. but no matter what happens to your body.. I was a runner.... the things that you're learning now stay with you.. coping mechanisms.. I think this is why I did it so fast. Honestly, your comment puts a big smile on my face, glad you're still here! x
Aww you will make an awesome mentor clubberlang, I remember when I first started couch25K, you gave me very welcome advice and support that got me through to graduation and beyond. Your posts and comments on here are very encouraging and appreciated ππβοΈ
I've got to say, it's been a very difficult few weeks through not being able to run and through home issues. I feel rather lost, but I'll be back on it soon enough! Ps - just passed the 4 stone mark...
I know it's frustrating, but 4 stone! You're doing everything right. When you first started this journey, you were 4 stone heavier and unfit... Look at you now! You're going to smash it when you get back out there!
No itβs on the Grange. Not an easy one (you can look at a listing according to difficulty). Comes in at 521/580!! Thereβs Carnage Corner before you head up a hill π not actually as bad as it sounds - unless itβs been wet in which case itβs MUDDY!!!
Yes itβs a funny one that! A big step to show your hand (or in this case π¦Άπ¦Ά). Thank you for the offer - I may well take you up on it but the grandkids are off on holiday from this weekend so we have freedom!
I'm always thinking safety! Obviously I know I'm an absolute legend and everyone would benefit from having me in their life ππ
But I'm slightly reluctant to promote meeting people from this forum.. Think I might need to talk about this with those in charge.. Oldfloss Realfoodieclub What's our stance on this? Is it just use commonsense?
We are happy to let people arrange to meet up at parkruns and events because there are quite a few people at these events, safety in numbers, sort of thing, but we are all adults we donβt ever tell people they canβt but we do urge caution on meeting people away from organised events and always consider your own personal safety. I have met a few people over the years but I have been chatting to them for quite a while before I meet up and always at an event for the first time.
Basically we have to take the official stance that it is a personal decision and not actively something we recommend without thinking it all the way through. Rfc x
Hey Stephen! I've just been talking about how awesome you are π΅οΈββοΈ secretly with backintime .. You're both awesome.. Hope she doesn't kick my arse for mentioning this... π¬π
Hey Mentor. So so happy to read this! A great choice for the role. Hope to be calling on you for advice and encouragement soon.... π Currently in the sun π with a plan to get back on track when I get home.

Sorry, late response - crossing time zones. Think I might have to start right back at the beginning again?!? It would probably be wise. Iβve missed it. π
