Newbie. Just completed WK1R2

[Jomarie1979]

Morning all. I'm 37 and haven't ran since being a child. I have always had the attitude that "I can't run" and settled for walking without even trying. 2 runs in and I feel very proud of myself already. Registered for park run yesterday to give myself an end goal. Good luck to everyone with their journeys. We can do this!

Well done too! Slow and steady is the way !

[Oldfloss Administrator Graduate]

Good to have a target, but, remember to take it steady and slow to get to the thirty minute runs

Well done

Thank you 🙂 will definitely take it slowly!

Well Done Jomarie, keep posting here as there is some great advice and we can support each other when we need it. I intend on posting after each run but also if the gremlins are tempting me to slack at which point I am sure everyone will verbally encourage me ( verbally kick my ass) to suck it up and carry on! See you at the finish line run buddy!!

Sounds like this forum is a great support. I intend to make the most of it! Thanks for your encouraging words. Look forward to reading your future posts!

Legs are aching a little tonight but I like it!

I am just behind you. Going for W2R2 tonight and am determined to complete this training.

Hopefully this is the start of a new way of life 😁
