Please don’t forget your friends here on Twitter, even those who post regularly may be fighting their own battles whether it be health, emotional, debt or trauma. Perhaps send them a card to give them that little extra boost and uplift. The moment that envelope drops on the mat❤️ https://t.co/dFiyi6iHRa

I like this, good motivation for those who think they can't run. Why not find a friend to run or walk with, to give you your motivation and encouragement? #keepactive #Motivation https://t.co/LGonrjlBqC
