Well after a couple of bad days when I just couldn't get any motivation I finally did my first day, albeit in my fairly small back garden π. I feel so pleased that I have done it but I did go a bit dizzy through running around in circles!!! Next time - out in the big outside.
Onwards and upwards π

Yes please try outside, I know you probably feel very self conscious , we all did to start , but that feeling of embarrassment soon goes as you progress.
Keep posting so that we can cheer you along your way xxx
Well done for getting started! Try going out - I was very wary but soon realised that no one took the slightest notice of me - except for one person who shouted 'I wish I could do that' at me! I was astonished!
Well done for starting janey38 - I have mainly run outside on the common but have done a couple of sneaky garden runs. Try outside though - it's great and Ullyrunner is right - straight is better π Keep us posted on how your getting on
Well done janey38 and yes, do try and get outside. I know what it's like to be self-conscious - I used to run in the dark dressed all in black; it's a wonder I didn't get nicked as a cat burglar. I've only just started running during the actual day and still feel sometimes like a great galumphing lump, but honestly, no one gives me a second glance.
Seasoned garden runner meπ but going in a straight line is definitely easier and faster too! Well done on starting this, you'll not regret it. Enjoy your next run (and post a picture of the dog)
The first time I did Week 1 was inside in the house! Fortunately I was able to do a sort of loop, but I wasn't half dizzy by the end of it - and the dog was utterly bemused as he watched me circling the kitchen, lounge, dining room and hallway repeatedly.... unless you've got a big garden, you'll be far better hitting the road or path!
