Pre-empting the impending alcohol/nicotine poisoning from tomorrows get-together; a thumbs up and pat on the back has to go to Gareth L for the original idea and Caz for keeping it alive.
and all the others I have forgotten who have overcome or are overcoming tremendous challenges in their life. They inspire me with their courage and determination and wonderful humour....
I agree with RB, its good to see. I also (rather strangely) think that Snoop inspires me to a certain degree!!! The man runs and runs and runs! I was starting to think he's a latter day Forest Gump!
Of course there's Drew and the zippy gang as something to aspire to!
As a runner, I'm definitely inspired and motivated by anyone who can run faster than me. And there are of course the obvious people who have told incredible stories of what they've been through.
And on a dangerously schmaltzy note, this forum as a whole, and thereby everyone who contributes to it, was enormously inspirational in keeping me running when I'd just started, and ever since. Nice one guys.
Oh and not forgetting Dangly Spice, as it was her posting the GSR thread that caught my eye and sucked me into the forums in the first place. And you've all kept me going ever since.
I think everyone who posts on here has inspired me in some way or another - to keep going when I don't want to, to enter a race I never thought I could manage, to try hill repeats and intervals, people who made me laugh when I was feeling small, those who kept hubby and me going through our trauma a while back.
I couldn't possibly pick just one person from of such an eclectic mix of characters - you're all great!
