As for the forums, it's so big, it's hard to develop relationships which in turn add to your own support group. Its good if you can find someone who is in a similar situation as you and follow them, but then if they are not in the same wanting to hook up frame of mind they may consider it stalking!! Ha.<br /><br />My advice is to use the forums as inspiration, knowing you are not alone, but also find some Facebook groups. I've found our Warrnambool & Surrounds FB group invaluable, and would go on to say I wouldn't have lasted this long if not for their support. Even if there is not a group in your immediate area, there may be a young mums 12wbt group, a state group, an age group. It's that continual support that is the best. <br /><br />As for the grass running I hear you! It's like running through quicksand I think. I much prefer gravel or road running, probably not the best for these old knees though. Keep up the fantastic work.<br /><br />Carol<br />www.finding-carol.blogspot.comCarolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08903728734280874993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-73454538718593187072013-05-18T22:40:22.965-07:002013-05-18T22:40:22.965-07:00AWWWE Jen, Thanks.

Might spend a bit of time this week trying to find my favourite ones and keeping up with all their posts. <br /><br />Thanks xoBecoming Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285412885922545600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-70301194994865768392013-05-18T22:36:15.817-07:002013-05-18T22:36:15.817-07:00Thanks Cathy at least I know I am not the only one...Thanks Cathy at least I know I am not the only one. I guess once you work it all out it MUST get easier and quicker. Do you have a blog? If so let me know what it is I would love to have a read. :) Becoming Nikkihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04285412885922545600noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-9062415425316460212013-05-18T19:07:08.336-07:002013-05-18T19:07:08.336-07:00Oh man, I totally agree with you on the forums thi...Oh man, I totally agree with you on the forums thing! It does seem a bit clique-y and extremely time consuming. It's actually a bit of a headache. I reckon having people you know or one or two similar people to cling to might help. I have to say, for me, I get a lot of motivation out of reading your blog. I only wish I could repay the favour but I can't be arsed writing about myself! So thanks and sorry all at once! :-P <br />However, maybe you too can find inspiration in the blogs of others? <br />Jen xAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16928526073408613604noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-708927177577133213.post-38176675265296256912013-05-16T16:11:32.888-07:002013-05-16T16:11:32.888-07:00Hi Nikki.

I also work full time and do have a life as well! I agree it can be really time consuming. So I guess I don't have any advice for you as I'm experiencing the same thing!<br /><br />Cathy<br />cathyn61@wordpress.comRunnerCJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16873597792096722890noreply@blogger.com
