Hoping to start with my first run tomorrow morning! Been coming up with excuses for 2 months now about why I'm too busy to start! Hopefully I go, and have the motivation to do it before my shift! Anyone else have the same problem?

I found the advice on here kept me going and one year on I'm still reading the daily digests and running 3 times a week. You've made the first step joining here now go go go - we are all behind you cheering you on! You won't regret it!!

Ha...Procrastination, my housemate gremlin.. I know him well! But you've posted now and so you have untold folk on here ready to cheer you on, encourage you and help you through the programme. I initially thought "I'll try this for a bit but I know I can't run, so..." Well, who'd a thunk it? We can all run! The programme is amazing (honestly) but it's the folk on here who have kept me going. A year on from when I started and I'm still running (very slowly still) but running. Don't put it off. You will never regret doing this and we're all behind you every step.😊
