Well done. I’m also trying to get my running back on track as it got seriously neglected in December. You’ll soon be back up to 30minute runs.

I’m struggling for 30 mins too...I’m thinking maybe it’s the cold? Or I’m not in the right frame of mind? Whatever it is it won’t be for long x

Yeah but I figure that any run is better than just sitting on the couch!! Just think what we were doing this time last year!! Zero minutes!!

It’s hard when you’re working, but you’re not letting those Gremlins in telling you not to bother...persistence pays & you’re proving that xx

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

January is great for giving us all that little push. I've noticed a little more light in the day and I like the not sitting down plan :)
