"Well Mrs O, I'm officially a runner!!! Finished the 8 week program yesterday and I CAN DO IT!!!! I can't believe it. Thanks a million to you being an inspiration, I'm going to be fit n forty now, not fat n forty (in about 7 years time of course). The husband is doing well too, on week 7. He's actually more addicted than me!"
I am absolutely chuffed to bits for Gill and her husband Gareth, as I know how amazing it feels to make the journey from non-runner to runner, to change from an 'I can't!' to an 'I bloody well can!'.
I'm also utterly delighted to have provided a catalyst for Gill and Gareth's transformation into runners - who knew my average little blog would do some good along its average little way?
Now all I need are details, so I'm hoping that Gill and Gareth will respond to my invitation to write a guest blog post about their experience. Let's watch this space with fingers crossed...
Until then, Gill, Gareth - YOU ROCK!

So great! That should make your day. Congrats on being an inspiration! I would love to read Gill and Gareth's story if they guest blog.
Congratulations for inspiring Gill and Gareth to join the happy band of runners. It must give you a lot of satisfaction to know you've enriched the lives of others. Nobody sent me an email like that!
One reason for setting up my Blog was to encourage other old fuddy-duddies (like me) to get off their backsides and into the wonderful world of the great outdoors. I'm obviously doing something wrong for it doesn't appear to have worked.
I'll keep reading your Blog to see if I can learn some lessons!
