Fat girls can run

Week9 run 3 - boom. I've never been a natural runner (still aren't) but here I am second time around, graduating! Thanks to everyone who posts on here whose helped and inspired me. I started this programme to get me back on track after a really difficult couple of years which started with me being seriously ill after my appendix burst, followed by massive infection and lung collapsing. My lovely dad lost his battle with cancer, oh and then there's a pandemic. This is not a pity party but to help inspire others, no matter what you face, you can get there. Its not been easy (lock down weight hasn't helped) but this is the first step to finding me again and a healthier happier future. Good luck to all you others who have you own battles, you can do this. I feel a touch emosh now!

Congratulations. 👏👏👏 Well done you! 🥳

You are a human being, therefore you are a natural runner. Never talk yourself into not believing that. Long slow running is what the human body evolved to do!

That's really inspiring, and you have done amazingly through an awful lot of hardship. I'm not a natural runner either (and a fat girl), and you've given me hope!
