Got to admit I'm getting fitter, getting fitter all the time...

Well, W6 R3 in the bag and I feel healthier fitter and more positive than I did 6 weeks ago. I think I'm a bit slimmer too. In 25 minutes I struggled 3 times and just told myself 'come on, you can push through this' and I did.

It's a first for me, running first thing in the morning, and I feel so much better on my way to work.

Thanks to everyone who posts on here, even if you don't get many replies, know that you are helping someone else just by making them feel part of it, this great running thing.

Keep on running everyone :-)

I've got a good The Wedding Present version of "Getting Better" ... it popped into my head when I read your thread title.

So, in true northern style ... keep it up lass.

Ooh I've not heard that, but I do like them.

Cheers lad, will do. :-)

Just back from W5 R1. With my luminous yellow running jacket I think the shouts from local kids on lunch break indicated they are also Weddoes fans - but that they perhaps favour ‘Everyone Thinks He Looks Daft’.

Whatever 🤣

Yeay...a great positive post... you are on to the lovely longer runs now. Relax and let those legs just carry you now :)

The early runs are great aren't they... even when it is wet:)

Well done!
