I've had 2 goes at posting this, at the moment HU doesn't seem to like photos added.So, I ran for 5 minutes because I wanted to see what happened.

What happened was my heart rate shot up, I puffed and panted, my mouth was in a wide grin and tears of joy ran down my cheeks.

5 minutes felt very special .

Run or rest well friends and a special shout out to AlMorr and Mudita11 for their weekend races, have fun while pom poms are waved and you are cheered home xx

It was very slow and I'll stick with 5 minutes for now, mainly I'm increasing walking to strengthen my l legs 😁

I think overexcited is fine; just don’t run too far, or fast, too quickly…but you won’t do either. For too sensible for that. Really good news; and photo πŸ™‚

Thanks πŸ˜„ I'm sticking to 5 minutes for now, and when it feels easy and my heart rate doesn't go so high I'll add a minute, I know my limits and will take it a step at a time

Pleased to read that you’re back to running πŸ˜€

Those minutes of running are so good πŸ‘ŒπŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Coming back after injury of illness takes patience but the process is worth it

Your seafront panorama will help I’m sure πŸ˜€πŸ‘πŸŒŠ

Walking is fine. You’re making ground πŸ’ͺπŸ‘πŸ™‚. Being out there, on the move, feeling stronger day by day. It’s positive progress πŸ‘Œ
