Sponsor Giveaways | Green Frog Studio, Up & Running, Claudine Hellmuth for Big Picture Classes
GIVEAWAY | Two people will each receive a spot in the Up & Running Summer 5K Beginners Course, which starts on 13 June.
Up & Running provides unique online running classes for women. If you've always thought running was reserved for sporty types with bouncing ponytails, we're here to help you discover that running is for everyone. Our 5K Beginners Course is not the usual boring "walk 5 mins, run 5 minutes" program. We offer expert coaching from renowned coach Julia Jones, unlimited support from our community forums, and a mind and body approach that has been tried and tested with thousands of women around the world. Whether you've dabbled in running before or completely new to exercise, we'll not only help you start running safely, we'll get your mind in the right place too.
"Up & Running really has been the best thing I have done for myself in years, and not just for the running. My confidence and happiness in my own skin has increased so much and I love what my body can DO, rather than obsessing about what it looks like."
- Philippa, UK, Spring 5K course

My Mom taught me to always strive to do my best and to help others along the way. She also passed along her creative side, though she would never admit it!

A life lesson I learned from my Mom is that things happen for a reason. At the time I am usually confused + frustrated, she will gently remind me that it happened for a reason + to relax + give it time. Sure enough, down the road I realize why + understand.
Happy Mother's Day! Thanks for the chance to win. The Up + Running Online Running Course looks awesome!

A huge lesson I have learned is to go with the flow. You cannot plan for everything and during those times find joy in it!

Playing a little bit dumb gets you way further ahead than acting like a smarty pants.

Make trips to the beach simple - bathing suit towel, jug of juice and cinnamon graham cracker/peanutbutter sandwiches. Dig your toes in the sand, close your eyes and smell the ocean breeze.

My Mom has taught me that things will always get better. She survived a major illness in 2000 and there have been numerous life changes for our family over the years. Life can be so hard sometimes, but you work through it and appreciate what you have. Things will get better.

You can't control what happens to just your attitude towards it. She has overcome so many challenges and never ceases to amaze me. I feel blessed to have her as my mom
