Just take your time, slowly and steadily and you will be fine. Welcome to the addiction hub 😄, sounds like you're on your way to being healthily addicted.

Thanks - Waited 41 years but never too late eh? Thanks. Am hoping I can be half the woman I am by December and aiming to do my first park run in June...that's my goal. All the best to you and all fellow runners! 😁

Definitely not to late, you're one of the younger people here. Good luck with your aims, I'm sure you will make them. Look on the pinned posts at How to Run C25k - there's a wealth of information there for those starting out.
