Fulham Palace Parkrun

Honour thy commitments

Honour thy commitments!

When you make a promise to yourself, make sure you keep it.

6 weeks ago, I promised myself that I would get back into my outdoor running again, after a year off.

I kept that promise and completed my first Fulham Palace 5K Parkrun yesterday – it was so much fun!

Okay, I was very slow and came in 551st place out of 584 runners, but I did it and I am proud of myself.

This is just the start of many future races and I will progress along the way.

At the bright age of 51 years, I’m only competing with myself and the self-challenge of getting healthier and fit again.

I took many positives from yesterday’s Parkrun and this inspires me to KEEP GOING!

I celebrated the end of my successful run with a pot of green tea and it was just delightful.

Sometimes it’s just the simple things in life that gives us the most happiness.

Set yourself a goal and trust yourself to make it happen –  the lasting positive impact is truly contagious.

What’s your goal before the end of the year?

Do it my friend!

Do It With Pride

You're a Star

Celebrate how far you’ve come and welcome the journey of tomorrow.  Today is your blessing, today be grateful for everything you have achieved so far, you’ve done good you know, you’ve done real good!! This poem’s for you.

Do It With Pride

The bells’s ringing,
I’m ready to go
Are you with me?
Bring on the show.

Smiles in your pocket
Hope on your back
Plough through all weathers
Get back on track

Start where you are
Think always good
Be kind to yourself
Don’t say “should”

Come on my friend
You’re almost there
One more step
A little more care

Concentrate, focus
Have faith in your stride
Go a little further
Do it with pride.
