So... I’m starting out my running journey tomorrow - week 1 session 1. I’m going to get up early and out before it gets too hot. Motivated by looking at others’ success stories and reading posts here. #IgotThis

Lauren, you are a star!! You'll be fine. Good idea to get out early.

Take it really gently okay? It's really tempting to think that you should go "fast". Don't!!

Go as slow as you can. It should feel comfortable.

You're about to embark on the most fantastic journey!! Welcome to a new world!!

Thank you!

A great feeling actually to work out when everyone else is asleep still

It’s hard to stop your body from going fast and try to go slow, but I managed it somehow haha.

I just completed the first session and I feel great! :)

I’ve just done my first session and I feel great! May have been a jog and not a run but we’ll get there.

Get that new bra and get out there :)
