So when times are hard, dig down deep, remember how you feel after your run, walk or workout and find that inner motivation to keep going.....

I was going to finally start the running journey by walking the first five lights, and jogging the next one, all the way to the top.

The voice in your head will tell you you can't do this, BUT YOU CAN !!!!! I am proof of this

Meet Dawn and her daughter in-law Jade, racing as a family.

A life changing kidney transplant in 2015 is Donna's motivation to stay fit and healthy, so when she was looking for ideas to get fitter and lose weight a work colleague pointed her towards Virtual Racing!

After encouraging Clare to join a local Martial Arts Club, Rob became a gym widow as his wife was literally fighting herself to fitness.

They decided to look for fitness activities they could enjoy together and with their four-legged family members, and Virtual Racing quickly became a regular challenge for them as individuals and a family.

Animal mad Clare looks the predator series and doggie dash challenges and the ongoing annuals are keeping Rob on track as he has signed up to his first ever LIVE ½ marathon in September and hopes to achieve a full marathon before he turns 50!

This is when I found Virtual Racing. There are plenty of other site that offer medals, but I liked the sound of ‘Chrimbo Limbo’, the website was very professional, the videos I saw were very welcoming, caring and seemed to offer the support and encouragement I was looking for.

...you should not look at a challenge as a whole. Instead, you ought to set smaller goals that will eventually help you complete your objective. The same principle holds true for anyone who has ever had a fitness goal, such as running 1,200 miles a year or getting into the best shape of their life. It should be a process, taken step by step, little by little until the ultimate goal is finally attained. 

When I turned 40, I realised that instead of moaning about the way I looked and felt and blaming everything other than me I decided to get off my backside and do something about it.  I started losing weight, started cycling and loved every second of it.
