And I like to Thank..oh its not an Oscar but everyone's right it feels amazing!

Things I've learned... make sure your comfortable and everything's in place ( headphones aligned correctly, playlist etc) pick a route that's not too challenging but (and this might just be me ) you can't mentally mark for distance and possible time completed. The first 10 minutes was awkward, then I found my rythum, then the mental Gremlins woke up, I kept thinking all the mantras ..slow but steady..keep my feet moving , no matter how slow, shoulders down etc and then the 20 minutes alarm sounded and I literally stopped and looked on at the route ahead and thought I could go on ... but turned and headed home!
