Hi Patrick, congratulations on completing your first week, it's a huge achievement and those first few runs are tough. Very well done and keep it up! Good luck with week 2 :)

Thanks for all your positive comments, in anticipation of reaching week 8, I am volunteering at my local "Parkrun" each Saturday, looking for a good time in 70-74 !

Well done Patrick, there's a big hurdle behind you now. It is always hard to get started and w1 can be tough because you really don't feel convinced you are a runner. At least I wasn't. Roll on w2!
