Day 1, Run 1 done 👍

I almost chickened out, but partly because I'd put it in writing yesterday I pushed myself out of the door, prepared myself for failure and set off. After my first 1 minute run I was a pleasantly surprised, by the time I finished the run I was ecstatic!! So I'm writing this red faced and a little achy but pleased. Fingers crossed for Wednesday now. Thanks for all the support.

It's so cool to see newbies banding together! Good luck to you and enjoy it, it's sometimes really tough but just keep coming back here and you'll make it :D Oh and we don't like the F word here, we prefer practice
