Week 1 Run 1 again 😁

So I woke up this morning and knew today was THE day! I have been on and off the IC since September and have tried a few walks but needed to get back to it. I love running (well more of a shuffle!) and have really missed it!

As it was warm, I decided to get out my shorts - my legs don’t usually see the sun so in hindsight it was a good opportunity to get some early morning vitamin d!

So geared up to go and stepped out into the glorious sunshine after last night’s storms. I pressed play and Laura’s familiar voice confirmed I was doing the right thing. Walked to the park, twice round and back. Strava some how got switched off but I did 3.1km in 30 mins. I’m happy with that.

Best feeling ever! I know what’s ahead but I know I can do it this time. I hope you all have a great Sunday, now I’m going to watch the Marathon!

Well done and welcome back.

Have you read the guide to the plan healthunlocked.com/couchto5... which is designed, in part, to keep people off the IC.

Keep us posted.

I am so pleased to be back. It is a way of life and I’ve missed it! I obviously didn’t feel it was as hard as the first time around so that was good.

I will. It was so lovely to be out and about and only worry about what shade of red is turn rather than whether my knee would hurt.

I was slow, I was steady but I was also ready! Thanks for keeping me chipper whilst I was on the IC x
