Day 4 #5KADAY ☑️
“All for one, One for All”
Running can be a solo venture, like a lot of things in life, we tend to spend a lot of time with ourselves.
But we’re never truly alone, we’re connected to other people out there, running, commiting to moving, challenging themselves.
Day 3 #5KADAY ☑️
“Running on empty, with a heart so Full”
Power of Gratitude
I’ve had little sleep, but I’ve got to spend time with people I love.
I’m exhausted & want to rest, but I have the gift to run.
Deploy gratitude to others & also yourself, it’s a powerful motivator.
Day 2 #5KADAY ☑️
“We are the one’s we’ve been waiting for”
We can’t expect to wait for someone to come and save the day, to change things, we need to be the change, essentially, change starts with us.
When you have a clear goal to work toward, clarity & action follow.
Onward.
Day 1 #5KADAY ☑️
"If you wait for perfect conditions, you'll never get anything done"
I started this challenge back in 2015 & done it every year since. I’ve spent the day convincing myself I wasn’t ready.
I talk about “creating the conditions” but main thing is “just start”
Annual reminder to educators as we head back to school.
Your job is not to produce the 1% of elite performers, rather it’s to instill a love, joy & habits that will allow ALL young people to experience the power of sport, play & movement today, tomorrow, and rest of their lives.
I was privileged to be invited to @Wrexham_AFC to be involved in their #PlaceBased work.
Wrexham is like many places I know & love, it’s been through the wringer, but let me tell you, something very, very special is building there.
Honoured to bring my knowledge to the place!
Life affirming day, reminding me that there are awesome people, doing awesome things!👇
@hayleylever & @evefrancisholt graciously took time to show me Manchester, what an epic place!
Something very special is happening there.
It really is the epicentre of Place Based Working!
A joy to walk and talk with @Ant_Judge @YouthSportTrust & @hayleylever today and to share stories and learning on roles we can all play to help create the conditions for #ActiveLivesforAll.
Covered a lot of ground, including the importance place, identity, trust, belonging, relationships, partnerships, system leadership, culture, scaffolding/strategy and transformation…. 🌱🤸🏽
After a horrible week for the place I call home, I’m still pretty numb.
Much needed tonic at the Place Based Physical Activity Leadership event in Westminster, led by @julie13russell on a mission to the make the World a better place!

Exceptional speech from @JamesTCobbler 👇
WOW! Everyone should listen to this superb maiden speech from newly appointed Prisons, Parole & Probation Minister @JamesTCobbler in the House of Lords today
What an absolutely inspired appointment this is👏👏👏
Big part of our #PlaceMaking work @YouthSportTrust is better connecting schools to people & places they serve.
This new collaboration has now empowered dozens of new #YoungPlaceMakers who will make Tower Hamlets a more active place to live, work & play!
Made up to see this👇
Straight Endorsement👇
My fellow Democrats, I have decided not to accept the nomination and to focus all my energies on my duties as President for the remainder of my term. My very first decision as the party nominee in 2020 was to pick Kamala Harris as my Vice President. And it’s been the best decision I’ve made. Today I want to offer my full support and endorsement for Kamala to be the nominee of our party this year. Democrats — it’s time to come together and beat Trump. Let’s do this.

“We talked about sport, but we didn't talk about grassroots sport, which is the visible symbol in communities of how much our kids matter to us.”
I couldn’t have put it better myself @lisanandy 👏👏👏
