Week 1 Day 1

12 Replies

Well considering I was already sweating wrestling myself into my sports gear & out of breath bending over to put my trainers on I'm quite proud of myself, yea my face is as red as a beetroot, I feel like I've broken my ankles & I can barely breathe but I've done it !!!

The hardest part of this program is actually starting it so well done for doing that. I actually found the runs somewhat liberating and now look forward to what's coming up.

WK4R2 for me this morning so if I can do it then so can anyone!!

Enjoy and keeping posting your runs as the people on this forum are 100% behind you!!🏃🏻‍♀️

Thanks guys 😀

My face wasn't red after day one.

It had enough blue where a passer by was phoning for the EMTs before I stopped her. :)

You can graduate also. Day one is the hardest in so many fundamental ways and you've done it. :)

Now it's just a question of going out the door and taking it slow, steady and at your own pace :)

Wishing you many happy miles in your future :)
