Ive just been out on my second run still feel nervous when i see other walker runner coming towards me but i did . Not bad from a couch potato. Have lost 5lb last week too just by healthy eating and tracking my food. I loved my run/ jog today did it all by myself so a bit proud of that hope everyone is having a good week too x☺

Well done caz71. Remember at some point in time that 'other runner' would have been in exactly the same position as you so don't be nervous. Stick with it :D Have a good week.

Very positive changes in your life this week. Don't be embarrassed- the other runner is probably thinking "well done"

KBO!

Welcome.

Pride is fine........you are doing something amazing...........but you probably don't realise quite how amazing just yet.

Don't be nervous about other runners, they are nearly all very nice people, who won't judge you except in positive terms.

Relax and enjoy the journey.

Hi caz71 ...welcome...well done on your excellent run, you have a fab journey ahead of you...relax & enjoy it...

When I see another runner, & I see LOADS as I live across the road from the park where the park run is held & on a very long, flat main road, I just give them a silent cheer!!! Irregardless of speed, size, looks...I just want to give them a high five!!! So don’t worry about anyone else because they prob want to do that to you!!! Keep at it...you’re doing great 👍🏻
