Week 1 First Run Completed!

Last year, I tried to start the C25K programme. Half way through the first run I felt so out of breath and like I couldn’t carry on... immediately gave up on running as I figured it wasn’t for me.

My motto for 2018 was getting fit!

In order to do this, I spent the last three months in the gym, and after some encouragement I thought it might be time to try the C25K programme again, and I did it!!!

Wasn’t as nearly as painful or hard as I remember so clearly the gym helped me get fitter!

Immensely proud and can’t wait to do the next run!

Legs are tired, but some stretches will help recovery!

Bring on Wednesday! x
