That's great but why did you stop. Running is not just for Christmas, but for life.

Enjoy second time round.

Welcome back! You did it before so you know you can do it again - so maybe while you are building up think about how you can make this a part of your life (just like breathing eating and sleeping). Think about your lifestyle & the bits that maybe got in the way before & plan for them.

I realised around week 4 that my life would start taking over & it's so easy to miss a week if your days are filled with other urgent things. I managed to get to week 9 in 10 weeks ( due to extra work/parents & kids medical appointments & other stuff getting in the way).

Then I realised that this is important too - to me - and once I gave myself equal priority I completed the course.

Sorry if I sound like I'm lecturing ( I'm actually lecturing myself here!) as I only graduated Sunday & am desperate not to give up!

You CAN do this - with us - together!😀🏃
