The positive power of FOMO

FOMO = fear of missing out, and Charlie suffers from it massively. 

Last Christmas, I went for a run with Hannah, Izzy, and Milly. However, as a consequence of not being a runner, Charlie couldn't join us. 

To her absolute credit, she joined the 'Mile Shy Club', whose tagline "No one gets left behind" always chokes me up, and she did her first Parkrun on her birthday in March. Her longest run this year was a magnificent 10k. 

And so, well earned, she was able to join me, Hannah, and Milly this morning for a three mile run out as far as the Kersal wetlands. I was very proud of her. 

In the afternoon, Milly went off to meet up with her respective boyfriend, Andy, whilst Charlie, Hannah, Dan, Abi, and I went up to Kirkby Lonsdale. 

In the afternoon, Dan and Abi were meeting up with their friends for a Boxing Day pub crawl and insisted that Hannah, Charlie, and I should join them at some point, if only for a while. We did go down in the evening for one drink but they were a good crew, so in the end we stayed a bit longer than planned :-)
