A little change on the forums

[Realfoodieclub]

I am stepping down as lead Admin on all my forums. (C25K, Bridge to 10km, Strength and Flex and Active 10) I will still be on the forums but as one of the community members. I am leaving you in very capable hands and I hope everyone on here will do their best to help ease any transition the admins see fit to implement to help with my departure from the team.

As some of you know MrRfc had a kidney transplant 2.5 years ago and woke up with a new lease of life and an energy he hadn’t had for years. I had forgotten what an energetic little sole he is and I have been trying to keep up with him 😀. The downside of that is that I have felt a little stretched on my time fitting everything in. I thought I could do it all but I have found to do things to the standard that I want I got burnt-out so I have made decision to pass on the lead admin baton and step down from my admin duties and spend some more time with my husband and the Bowls club we run together.

I have been immensely proud to of been part of all the forums as they grew. I will always carry a soft spot for all these forums. I have made good friends and received so much support over the years with my running, I still do not count myself as a good runner 😂, I still need help, which is why I will still be around, it will just be in a different capacity.

Please help the admins out as they make minor changes and bring in new people, they need your support at this delicate time. The forums need bigger admin teams to allow more structured time off and respite and I am sure you all want to help your admin team achieve this healthy balance so please be understanding of the changes that come, there might be a few less quests or what is your week as they find a balance and a good working environment. We are some the best communities going and I know you will all step up to the plate to help out now 🙂.

Happy running to you all 🏃‍♀️.

Health and happiness

My brother in law had a kidney transplant and it was miracle-working for him, so I certainly wish you both well. Enjoy time together!!

It is amazing I was lucky enough to be able to be MrRfc’s donor, something I couldn’t of done a few years ago. Glad you Brother in law is doing well. Rfc xxx

Thank you for leading a great team in creating the best corner of the internet. This place shows all that is positive about the internet with all that is negative kicked out with the door locked behind it... it’s a credit to you and the team, and I’m pleased that you’re going to stick around and enjoy it more... and I’m looking forward to more of you here even though you’re here less, if that makes sense.

I wish you much fun on your many adventures with a rejuvenated Mr Rfc.

Happy running, swimming, bowling, walking, planking 😱, squats 🤣 and everything else you do to keep fit and healthy... and of course closing out Active 365!

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

Thank you for your kind words, I am still going on the active 365 front 😀. Planking and squats, I will still need to visit S&F I can’t keep doing them without it. Rfc xxx

[UnfitNoMore Graduate in reply to Realfoodieclub]

My 8.25 miler yesterday had me ready for the couch today... but I’ve been for a walk and have a workout lined up for later... can’t let is slip now... and active 366 next year is on.

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to UnfitNoMore]

You know I don’t know if I can stop now 😂😂😂. Well done on. 8.25 miles. Rfc x

Thank you so much for your guidance over the years - I will still look forward to reading your posts! Enjoy your ‘me’ time👍

[Realfoodieclub Graduate in reply to Kimterry]

Thank you. I always compose so many in head on my runs and then get home and forget, maybe it’ll be easier to remember them now 😀. Rfc xxx

[IannodaTruffe Mentor]

As you know, we will miss your steady and reasoned hand guiding us all, both as admins and forum members. Most people here probably have no idea how much work and innovation you have contributed to make these forums the very special places that they are and which we all hope that we can maintain in your absence.

Very best wishes.

[GoogleMe Graduate]

It's a wise administrator who knows when it is time to go (not for us, we could have hung onto you forever) You have earned a place on the administration chaise longue, happy lolling!

Thank you, I like the thought of lolling on that😀. Rfc xxx
