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 that life will pass you by if you do not grab it and live it to the fullest. Life is very short and you need to fully experience every moment of it...good or bad.
I would love to win a spot in one of the online courses.

I love the idea of an on-line running course- awesome!
My mother fostered a love of the creative in me- she was always willing to try new projects with me and my sister when we were growing up, and she still does all these years later!

My mother is 94 years old and she is the most amazing and positive woman. She has many wonderful words of wisdom, but the greatest words she ever spoke to me were while sitting with her one day in the ICU of a hospital waiting for word on my sister who was already battling cancer and had now been hit by a drunk driver. As my mother sat quietly in thought, I asked her if she was worried and these were the powerful words she spoke, "I never worry. If you have time to worry, then you have time to PRAY"...............words to live by.

My mom taught me to clean up the kitchen right after supper so it was DONE. My family doesn't always like this guideline, but it's nice to not have the dishes staring in my face for hours.
Would love to take an online summer class :)

My mom has taught me so much. One of the things that stick to my mind all the time are the words that she says to me over and over again that family is the most important and that all the work to make it a good one is all so worth it.

My mom always seemed to find something to be happy about no matter what was going on. I carry that tradition on in my family and I see evidence in my son that her legacy will continue. Happy Mother's Day! and thanks for the chance to win.

My mom and I both loved making music. We learned how to play the organ, she as an adult, me as a teenager. I can remember many concert nights with other music making friends over to play and/or sing a long. One of my many paths into creativity.

My mom taught me by example not to engage in gossip and nasty talk about other people. I never heard her say a bad word about anyone. I love that about her. Happy Mother's Day, Ali!

2 things that have always stuck with me from my mom were Family is the most important thing and Don't worry about what others think - if they love you they will think you are great and if they don't they aren't worth worrying about.
Happy Mother's Day!
Thanks

My Mom has always inspired me to create. She now lives with me. She made all of my dresses when I was a little girl.

My mom taught me many things but the first thing that comes to mind is "if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all". This has saved me more times than I can remember! She's been gone for many years now but she's in my heart always!

My mom always told me to "treat people the way I want them to treat me" and I have lived that all my life, not always with good results.
Happy Mother's Day Ali

My Mom always said "You don't have to tell everything you know." I've lived by that many, many times.
