W2R2 Second attempt!!

I tried my second run after work tonight, made it to the second 90 seconds then gave up! Knees aching, pouring down and felt very self conscious! Gave myself a talking to and tried again and just back home having completed it! Great sense of achievement! I’m sure there will be a few more set backs along the way but will keep digging deep for motivation.

Well done for carrying on!! I've just done W2R2 tonight as well but on a treadmill as not yet confident enough to run in public!! Keep going... We can do this! :-)

Well done! I know what you mean about confidence, I’ve been running in the garden and this was my first time in public! Luckily it was quiet on the streets 😁

Well done for keeping going!

Well done & it doesn't matter what any body thinks, you are doing this for your own achievements & others probably have never tried. Keep going 👍
