Confessions first. After running regularly from April 2018 to December 2020 I suddenly stopped ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™€๏ธ. Started again on 17th July and skipped a few so did W5R3 today - even the second time round it felt it might be a challenge. Especially since the last I heard of Sarah was to say youโ€™ve done 5min! Iโ€™d just read yesterday about the flakey app (I may not have run but I didnโ€™t abandon my vrb role ๐Ÿ˜†). Luckily this time round I had tech on my side so finished the 20 minutes and 2.7k so very happy with that. So too is Mr Garmin who thinks Iโ€™m under 40 ๐Ÿ˜‚. Iโ€™ve read about so many people on their second time round and I have to admit Iโ€™m enjoying it ๐Ÿ˜Š

Thank you. In my head I thought Iโ€™d be ok but wasnโ€™t sure my body would comply. ๐Ÿคž๐Ÿป for the weeks to come.

There are lots of comeback runners on here. I was the same and redid part of c25k and now working back up to 10k. It feels great to be back though, doesn't it? Onwards!!! ๐Ÿ’ช๐Ÿƒโ€โ™€๏ธ

There does seem to be a lot of us - I wondered if I was just noticing it as I knew Iโ€™d be back? It feels good. May not go back to 10k but then again I swore Iโ€™d no interest in doing it first time round!! ๐Ÿ˜‚ Hope you get there though.
