Dear Greelycat and others

I went out yesterday morning and did my local parkrun in memory of Greelycats husband and any other recently departing souls, including my own dear Steve. I met my beautiful husband in Cannon Hill Park in Birmingham UK at the parkrun there. I ran yesterday in my PSP running top. This is a picture of my by the bandstand where we start and end the 5k run and where Steve and I had spent many happy Saturday mornings.

Love Sarahxxx

Well done! That's close to my old patch! Spent many evenings at the Town Hall listening to City of Birmingham symphony orchestra, and went to Kings Norton Girls Grammar in Bournville! Wonder if it is still there? Know the Town Hall is as I visited last time I was there, ?1998?

Never got into running tho, until in my 50's here in NZ!

Big hug

Yes the school is now just Kings Norton Girls School my friend works there, not sure if it’s in s different location now though. I was in my 40s when I started running, I am very slow but find it so therapeutic especially at this time xx

I had to learn to run 5kms to attend an Outward Bound course!

Have run very little since but still walk 5km regularly and frequently 10-15kms when out bush tramping. Consequently my knees are in reasonable condition whereas my running friends have problems!

Was at KNGS in '55-62, so some while ago now!

Hugs

Thank you Sarah. My wife who passed away last June of CBD would say when she ran, it was the only time she felt “normal”. Ten years ago she ran a marathon, while one year ago, she could only manage 100 m. I need to get out and run again. She motivated me to be my healthiest self.

Blessings,

Bobby

Hello Bobby

Definitely run again, do it for her. I am having a miserable morning I have just woken up feeling so so sad and very tearful. But I am going to go for a little slow run now and hopefully that will sort me out.

Thinking of you

Love Sarahx

Have a great run. It will clear your head. It’s bed time hear in Australia, but will run first thing in the morning. Thanks for your motivation.

I was born in Australia but have never been back, we left when I was 2 but it’s on my bucket list!

Run done, tears have stopped, ready to face the day now. Have a good day everyone and do something positive and make a memory, I love you all in this group you are keeping me going.

Love Sarahxx

Thank you, Sarah. You are an inspiration when it comes to turning all that grief into positive energy. I am giving some thought to what things I wished I had time for. I am considering trying my hand at painting. Or maybe volunteering.
