For you, Dad ❤️❤️❤️

[WildflowerJo]

I nearly completed this two years ago then my dad got ill. He has just passed due to contracting Coronavirus while in hospital waiting for a procedure. I’m missing him terribly and the end was so horrible - none of my family could go see him! I’m going to complete this time - just finished W1R2. I’m going to do it for me and my dad.

So sorry for your loss.

What a lovely idea to start running again.

I wish you every success and hope every run gives you strength and feels like your Dad is there with you, cheering you on!

The very best of luck 👍🏻

My sympathies for your loss. So hard at this time, even worse than usual. When I see feathers on the ground as I run I think it is my mum(white) and dad (grey) cheering me on. Happy running.

Sending you virtual hugs xx

I lost my Mum two weeks ago in hospital (stroke), so I understand your sadness and frustration with all the craziness surrounding no-visiting.

Today the sun is shining, there are flowers in bloom, take one day at a time, I found sitting in the garden listening to the birdsong highly therapeutic. Xx

You can do this, for yourself and your Dad. I'm betting he'll be with you all the way 💖

I am so sorry for your loss WildflowerJo, I am sure once you graduate from C25K in his memory your father would have been very proud of you.
