finished week1 today . raining and i was very achy but got it done. I would have given up after the 4th running section if my son hadn’t been there pushing me on, it was tough 😬 dreading week 2 but not giving up👊

Keep going. That determination is what’s keeping me going to and I just started week 3, thinking I’d never even start running before week 1.

Your doing just great 👍🏻take each run as it comes , it's not a race to the finish line and remember to do your running at your own comfortable running pace 👍🏻

Delight not dread... and take it at your own pace.. slow and slower if it gets tough...stretch well after every run too... Well done you :)

Take an extra day’s rest if you think its taken a bit out of you. Well done to your son, the encouragement always helps, but an even bigger well done to you, you carried on and didn’t give up. That’s grit.
