So, today is the day! I have my kit on, hair up and am ready to go for it. I know that there are other people on this forum at the same stage so I just wanted to say good luck to them. We can do it!

Nailed it! 20 minutes of the slowest jogging ever (seriously, there were people walking faster than me) but I don't care - I feel great! :)

I read that as "I have my hair on", to which I replied, "I should think so" 😊

I was speed reading. A terrible habit

Good luck Cathy. Go for it girl! Nice and steady, easy does it. Have fun ☺

Well done - there are loads of us at this stage now. It must be the time of year - Spring in the air and the sap rising! Congratulations, and isn't it a great feeling, being a proper runner? (Would end with a smiley face but I lack the technological knowhow....)

I did the same run tonight. I was as ever anxious but determined. We did it doesn't it feel good

Can not say same for the aching legs but will be right in a day or so and 6 run 1 looks OK.

Not what you're looking for?
