Recently I sat down w/ @Graeme_Hinde, founder of #MH1; the #mentalhealth movement for the U.K. #fitnessindustry. I shared with Graeme my story since entering the fitness industry in 2010, and the birth and evolution of #Smilinggg and The Smilinggg Mile. https://t.co/iJ3uroFsyS

Cheers 🍻

The toughest of races, the greatest of memories.

A big thanks for the kind messages and generous donations. It means the world.

I’ll be in touch over the next couple of days, but for now I ought to catch up on sleep. 😴

Steps 👣 + Smiles 🤗

Keep #Smilinggg 💛

.@SmilingggJC was my personal trainer in Vietnam as both of us battled varying degrees, and intermittent waves, of #Depression – which James outlines here. He was a huge help to me, and it's inspring to see him putting his experience to great use. https://t.co/zQk9PtAloC

The last couple of days have been so much fun, running the snow dusted trails.

The conditions heighten ones senses - the wind chill on the cheeks, the crunching of snow and ice under foot, the harshness of a deep inhale on the back of the throat.

[James Cooper @SmilingggJC]

Yet to stay still for too long, a mistake. Nature’s way of encouragement - to keep moving forward, no matter how slowly you step.

A wonderful lesson in letting go. You adapt to the conditions, the conditions don’t adapt to you. An innate vulnerability that makes total sense.

[James Cooper @SmilingggJC]

@philquin Merry Christmas Phil. 💛🎄🙏
