October Running in aid of Mind - Leave only footprints

[CalmConfident]

Anyone else signed up for this October challenge to support Mind? I did the 50 miles in May and found it really motivating.

Only signed up for 25 miles this time as recovering from injury. Would love to link up with anyone else for mutual encouragement

Nothing but footprints

I haven't OP, but I will, what a great idea. Will check with DS1 tomorrow whether he wants to join me - he's a keen runner and was just old enough to start parkrun when it shut down

Fab! There is a specific children’s option so that sounds like a great plain. I am missing parkrun so much too

I’ve signed up. Did it in May and found it a really good motivator.

Just been reading that parkrun won't be returning in October as planned... DS1 & I will definitely need a different challenge to get us out running!! I'm quite gutted actually, I try to keep him very active as he has loads of energy to burn off, but it can be expensive (he enjoys rugby, football, swimming etc but obviously can't do any of them through school at the moment...) - I'll have to see if any smaller local running groups accept kids and their overweight and unfit parents

Thanks for the link. I’ve signed up for 25 miles.

It says 100% of the profit goes to mind, but I'd like to know how much that actually is.

First slow, wet 3 miles completed today.

I’m on track - maybe slightly ahead.

I’m on track too. But only aiming for the 25 miles. Really enjoying it now.

Good luck guys keep on running
