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 many wonderful things about life & love, but my favorite piece of advice that stays with me each day is that it's a lot easier to clean up as you go when you're cooking & baking...it makes being in the kitchen a lot more fun for me :)

My mom taught me so much, and I miss her dearly. The one that is sticking in my head lately is "If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all." :)

My mom supported me in everything I did. She came to the games I cheered for. She listened to me sing...all the time, and was in the front row of every concert. She knew whatI would be when I grew up, but kept it to herself so i could figure it out on my own. I'm thankful for a mom who wasand is there cheering me on in life. Thanks for the chance to win some great giveaways, Ali.

My mother taught me that everyone was the same - no matter how much money they have, what they wore to school, or did for a living. It's what is inside that counts. Happy Mother's Day!

My mom taught me how to be a good mother - I see her in me every day as I interact with my 6 children.

One of my mom's constant refrains is "It's all just a minute." Often referring to this time when one's children are little, she also applies it to things she doesn't want to do as well as, now that she is older, life in general.

Do what you have to do first, so you have time to do what you WANT to do! Thanks Mom!

in troubled or stressful times (which I have had my share parenting 2 daughters!), always remember this mantra. "This too shall pass." It's amazing how relieving this can be during a crisis.

My mother taught me how important it is to take on challenging new experiences. "It'll be a character building experience," was one of her favorite lines. Thanks for a chance to win one of these fabulous experiences.

My mom taught me the importance of being polite, even to people you don't like. She called it being nice-nice.
Great prizes today! Thank you,

I will never ever be a runner, but I would just about FAINT if I won that spot in Claudine Hellmuth's class!!! *crossing fingers*
My mom told me that if I can't say anything nice, don't say anything at all. It keeps my mouth shut a lot, but she was right.

Wow, my Mom is my hero, so she has taught me a lot!!! But, the number one thing is FAITH. She didn't send me to church, she took me. She didn't tell me to read the Bible, she read it to me, and to herself in front of me. She didn't tell me to "say my prayers", she prayed with me and mostly for me! Such an example of a faithful woman.

My Mom has been a beautiful example of perseverance. She has definitely taught me to never ever ever ever give up. The beauty of life can often be seen in overcoming the struggles. :)
