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 never give up. She set a great example of that in her fight against breast cancer. Thanks Mom!

My mom taught me the importance of being resilient and strong. She has had a tough life yet always plugged away and never gave up on her efforts to be the best person that she could be.

My Ma taught me to just go..with..the..flow. Nothing is worth stressing out over. Everything happens for a reason so just roll with it and learn from it.

What a great giveaway! Thanks so much!!
My mom's biggest advice to me (since I always take things too personally and to heart) is always to "Let it go. 5 years from now, this will be insignificant." It always puts things into perspective!

My mom always led me to believe I could do anything I set my mind to do. Now that I am an adult it has hit me how many experiences I have been fortunate to have because I did not doubt myself and through the good and the bad it is true. I have been trying to pass this on to my daughter who is a bit shy and when she has doubts I say to her, no regrets!

My mother was never a big talker, but one thing she did say was that a successfull mariage depended on three things: compromise, compromise and compromise. Otherwise, she lead by example: moderation in all things (food, alcohol, purchases...).

My mother taught me to always take good care of yourself because you can't expect other to do that for you which translates directly to my goal this year to run a marathon. I'm signed up for a marathon in October and would love support to get to 5k!!!
Happy Mother's Day!

Don't worry about germs, letting you kid explore or learn some life lessons on their own. A lot of being a kid is learning, exploring, experimenting and growing. If my daughter isn't going to hurt herself learning the lesson, I'll often let her learn on her own.

My mother always said there were more important things in life than housework - you need the time for reading, making stuff and just having fun!

My mom taught me so many things in my life, intentionally and not intentionally. Some good, some not so good, but I am the person I am today because of her.

I can't begin to list all the life lessons my Mom has taught me. She has molded me into the woman that I am today. I would say that she has taught me that family is what matters most.

My mom taught me to try it....the worst thing that can happen that is doesn't work out but if you don't try it you will always wonder...what if

I learned so may lessons from my mom. I guess the most important one is to let God be first in my life and the rest will be much easier! I also learned unconditional commitment and love to my own daughter. Happy Mother's Day!

I learned so much from my mom but the most important was about the strength of unconditional love and sacrifice--my mom was a single mother who raised three of us without much help. She passed away when my daughter was one; I'd give anything to be able to spend another day with her.

My mom taught me that I could do anything I put my mind to it Doesn't matter if I am a girl. I was one of the best tree climbers (I have scars to prove it) I could change bike tires like nobodies business & many other things that I would get WOW you could do that.. yes and I'm a girl :) I hope to pass that on to my little girl. Wishing you a Blessed & Happy Mothers Day Ali! :) That 5K class is screaming my name. ((HUGS)) to you.Thanks for the chance!
