Hi All, I used to “believe” in the Meldrums and now feel so stupid that I did! I’m posting today as I am a ParkRunner and have completed well over 300 runs. It’s about as inclusive an activity as you can get, and I’m not exaggerating when I say it’s changed my life and that of many others. We welcome all people of all abilities and especially those who are nervous. However, when I saw that Mrs M was off to one I felt my heart sink and a pit in my stomach! That maybe sounds so bad and non-inclusive of me, but I really don’t want our beloved ParkRun dragged into the vain, materialistic, not to mention insanely gender-stereotyped (“girlies” etc) bandwagon world that she inhabits! Anyone else agree? I have many friends who have actually overcome real anxiety through the magic of running.
