W1R1 - done

Well I did it. I finally ran (excuse the pun) out of excuses and headed out in the cold and rain and did my first run.

To say I struggled is an understatement, as I am getting over a cold and have a rasping cough, but I did it and there is no going back now. Roll on Wednesday for R2 and hopefully it will get easier as the weeks go by 🙏🏻

Not a flattering look but it is better than not giving it a go 😊

Well done you! I did w1r1 last Friday. Had intended to do 2 today but didn’t for one reason or another. Tomorrow needs to be the day!

Brilliant, well done for getting started

Well done. Also have the same health issues! The first run is the hardest to get yourself out and do so now you’re on a roll 💪🏽

Well done Tigger, despite all those reasons for not running you had the will power to go out and do it!!! You’ll be needing that will power over the next few weeks but it’ll be all worth while.
