Welcome ... and well done for getting started.

You've definitely come to the right place for inspiration, motivation and advice. The lovely folks who post on this forum have helped me every step of the way.

Follow Michael's instructions to the letter and you'll be fine.

Good luck and happy running!

well done. It really does work and is life changing too. Listen to admins and take it steady. MJ got into my head ( In a good way ). I can still hear him saying. " Well you may be feeling a bit tired now. If so, just slow down a bit and try and get to the end"

Keep on running and enjoy too. You may shortly have to change your name to "Not Lazy at all L" or something more catchy.
