Boothferry Fitmums & Friends

21/06/2026

🎉 Boothferry Fitmums Members' Celebration! 🎉

What a weekend it's been!

🏅 Huge congratulations to everyone who completed the East Yorkshire Half Marathon – plenty of miles, plenty of smiles, and only a few conversations questioning whose idea it was in the first place!

🏃‍♀️ Parkrun delivered the goods once again, with not one but TWO age group winners! We also witnessed an intense battle between a runner and a tree. The tree remains undefeated, but we're proud of the effort shown. 🌳🥊

🌅 Some members got their long run done before most people had even found the snooze button.

🌊 Others were up bright and early for an open water swim to celebrate the Summer Solstice. Nothing says "summer" quite like voluntarily jumping into cold water at dawn!

💪 Meanwhile, gym classes were keeping us strong, while some wisely chose a bit of R&R, giving hardworking bodies the chance to recover and recharge.

☕ Whether you were running, swimming, lifting, racing, recovering, or simply enjoying a well-earned relax, you've all been making the most of the weekend.

Well done everyone – same again next week... minus the tree fights, if possible! 😄

Introducing another of our fabulous leaders. We couldn't run without them! 🩷🩵🩷🩵🩷

Name: Celina

Group: Bootherry Fitmums and Friends

Favourite run distance: Half marathon (when health issues allow)

Best thing about Fitmums: Definitely the inclusivity. It really is for anyone, of any ability, those believing they don't have ability, those fearful to take that first step, those maybe recovering from injury and anything inbetween. Every person is supported to their individual goals and beyond, however big or small 🩷

Top tip for beginners: Ignore any previous conceptions, be brave and take that first step. I've not yet met anyone that wishes they didn't.

Fun fact: Firstly a fact rather than fun: I am a qualified VI (Visually Impaired) Guide Runner which is another fantastic offering available at Fitmums, enabling runners and walkers with visual impairments to be able to take part in events and other activities. I love this role also and enjoy supporting VI runners/walkers with their events and activities.

Now for my Fun Fact: I was instrumental in my hospitality duties at the first Fitmums Headscarfe Hussle, for 'encouraging' Peter Levy to wear a headscarfe for the first time 😂
He was admittedly initially sceptical, but he fully embraced it as the professional that he is. Everyone loved it, and he has done so every year since ❤️

Oh and I'm well known for being cold and owning heated leggings 🤣

Favourite post-run treat: Most definitely, absolutely ice cream (although maybe not in winter 🥶😅)

A very hot, quiet and steady run for the 2 milers tonight! The heat took its toll on us all a little but we had little rest breaks and then powered on! We cooled down in the shade of the track 👏🏼 Great company, John 🤩

What a fantastic weekend for our Boothferry Fitmums! 🎉🏃‍♀️

From parkruns to track sessions, Beat the Clock challenges, and sociable café runs, our members were out in force enjoying every mile together.

A huge congratulations to Sophie on completing her 350th parkrun – an incredible achievement and a testament to her dedication, consistency, and love of running. 💜👏

Whether chasing PBs, supporting friends, or simply enjoying great company and coffee, it was another brilliant weekend showcasing everything that makes our Fitmums community so special.

Well done everyone! 🌟
