Tim's Run

I needed to do Tim's Run at my Bedfordshire gym this morning due to inclement weather, and I decided that a picture of a treadmill was probably surplus to requirements!

Ran for 30 minutes at a conversational pace, thinking of how eloquently Tim wrote about the joys of running and the beauty of nature. Eternally grateful for his advice and encouragement, which he always gave so generously - plus the occasional gentle chiding for a failure to complete proper post-run stretching. His support and knowledge helped me to become a runner.

In memory of a wise and kind soul. Keep running, keep smiling, Tim.

And thank you always.

Exactly - every run is a run, and this one was a beauty.

I have seen so many lovely posts from Tim's runners, and it would be great to know how many people actually ran for Tim when you've got all the posts in. Thank you to you and the rest of the team for organising this.

Well done for your meaningful run JoP61, harder to find a smile on the treadmill, but I hope you did. 💜🏃‍♀️xxx

Thank you! I do love to run outside but I actually don't mind the treadmill. Really enjoyed the run and felt very empowered. 💕

Thanks! Not as beautiful as all those lovely pictures of nature people have been posting, but better then a picture of a treadmill! 😂
