I started Race at Your Pace in December 2018 as a way to get back into running after I had broken my foot.

I started Race at Your Pace in December 2018 as a way to get back into running after I had broken my foot.

Since then it has become so much more – a few months later I found out I was pregnant, and it became the encouragement I needed to keep active throughout my pregnancy. Having the different options for exercise and distance makes a huge difference – as my pregnancy progressed, running wasn’t possible any more, but cycling on an exercise bike was, so I switched!

Now that my little boy is here, it’s the motivation I need to make sure that we’re both getting out of the house for a walk most days. Lots of gentle walks are helping me get stronger after pregnancy and helping me recover from my c-section. I can’t wait to eventually get back to running!

I missed one or two medals here and there; my first trimester was awful and the month after our baby arrived was a write off. But even where I didn’t quite make the target, I still had something to aim for that kept me doing what I could manage. It’s amazing how much more motivated I am to keep active when there’s the potential of a medal each month!
