Week Four Run Three and First Time Outside!

Thanks to the encouragement from people here, I made myself get outdoors this morning. It was, as everyone says, harder but more enjoyable and left me with a greater sense of achievement and wellbeing. I was fine with cars going past but have to admit to speeding up a bit when I was going past an actual person! Some technical probs as phone stopped giving sound when I put it in pocket, so ended up carrying it which made me feel a bit of a bumpy, but hey ho! Now wondering, do ai repeat week four outdoors or press on?

Definitely press on! You managed W4R3, no reason to repeat. Well done!

Well done. It's so gorgeous outside at the minute it would be a real shame to miss it all! Definitely move on. A run is a run.

Carry on outside I say. There is nothing to fear now and lots to gain. 

Start your next run super slowly and enjoy the fresh air.😊

Oh and well done Sue...you are doing brilliantly.x
