Hello,
I am really looking forward to seeing everyone after our summer break. The break has given me time to catch up with myself, have some downtime, and enjoy the sunshine. My husband and I had 2 nights away in a place called Hurst Green near Clitheroe. There are lovely walks round there, including the Tolkien Trail The Tolkien Trail | Hurst Green, Lancashire. Seeing the landscape that inspired JRR Tolkien. It was really beautiful.
While I was relaxing in the hotel, I picked up a copy of Lancashire Life and, my goodness, there was a full-page spread about one of our class members. Lucille started running later in life after she had been feeling anxious, and exercise was recommended. She started slowly and gradually built up her distance and speed, and she has recently completed a 10km race. Well done Lucille!
One of the secrets to success is to find your why. It might be to feel better mentally or to play with the grandchildren or to maintain your independence. When you have your why, it’s easier to motivate yourself.
