Race bib 1555. Liverpool Half Marathon, 2025 was my 1st "big" race. I absolutely hated running but in 2025, I decided to finally try giving it a good go. My mother in-law is an avid runner and had been trying to get me to run with her since 2013. In between I found that I started to enjoy it as much as I enjoyed weight training, so I did a few events. One in Berlin, another in Qatar then the race in Liverpool. Yesterday, I decided I was gonna sign up for the 2027 edition of the Liverpool Half Marathon. Why? No dramatic reason, if I'm honest. I just love moving my body as well as challenging myself, it's what keeps me alive. Realistically, I didn't start as a runner. The Couch to 5K programme sitting in the Classroom right now is the exact one I used to go from not running at all, to finishing my first half. It's free. It works. I'm the proof, medal and all. You don't need to sign up for anything two years out. Module 1's right there today, if you want it. Let me go off and start training 😆 Any events in your foreseeable future?

Morning everyone. It's travel day for me today, so no walking this morning. Getting some steps in at the airport but will walk when we arrive in Prague. What's everyone up to today? Have a blessed day!!

A warm welcome to @Zanele Duma joining us from cold Johannesburg. I suspect there is nobody who knows more "secrets" about me than my own sister 😆 Glad you're here sis
