So last night was my running club's Christmas dinner where awards were handed out to winners of the long and short course leagues, most improved runners, runner of the year etc.
Being new and rather slow I wasn't really in contention for anything...or so I thought!! When the winner of the ladies outstanding individual performance was announced, whose name is called out?? Little old me!!!!
I was so shocked! When they listed the achievements some of the other ladies have done this year in terms of time, distance etc, for me to win it is such an honour!!
I have a trophie and its engraved with my name and everything!!  |

Thanks guys...had to hold back a bit of a blub on the way to collect my trophie 
Its just another way that shows how inclusive the running community can be. When I first started going to parkrun and to the club I was so worried that people would mock me because of my size and how slow I was but the support and encouragement has totally blown me away!
This really is the best thing I ever decided to do |

Well done. A fantastic achievement.
Parkrun is a fabby group isn't it? On ours is a guy that always finishes between 15-20 minutes. But he stays until every last person has crossed the line cheering everyone on. |
