Could just be another photo from a run club…
But this one signifies so much more. ❤️
Tonight was a run leader making a comeback — although, I wasn’t the one leading from the front.
And that got me thinking…
Can you be the slowest runner and still be a run leader?
Absolutely.
Because leadership isn’t about being the fastest. It isn’t about being at the front. Sometimes, it’s simply about having the courage to turn up when you’re not sure you can.
Tonight, I stuck my hand up to carry the speaker.
It might sound like nothing, but honestly, I was worried. I’ve had a tough time with running over the past year and getting back too speaker duties took more courage than I probably let on.
But I did it.
And with the support of the Get Fit Group, we made it to the end. They got me through. 🙌
Around 4 minutes faster than last week. 5K in the bag with the speaker for the first time in a year.
But tonight wasn’t about the time, the pace or the distance.
It was about turning up.
It was about giving it a go.
It was about being surrounded by people who don’t judge, don’t make a fuss and don’t care how fast you are.
They just help you get it done.
And that’s exactly what the Pub Run Club is about.
Sometimes you lead.
Sometimes you follow.
Sometimes you’re the one who needs everyone else to get you over the line.
And that’s OK.
No fuss. No judgement. Just getting it done.
Sometimes the biggest achievement is simply showing up. ❤️
Have Fun. Get Fit. Be Social. 🏃♂️🍸
