I didn’t embarrass myself!

Today was the big day: running with my new neighbours. As an exercise-shy introvert there were two big hurdles here: trying not to be a hippo while running, and trying not to be awkward when meeting new people.

Four of the ladies were on week 3, while another lady and I were on week 1. I was relieved to be able to go at a reasonable pace and not struggle to keep pace with the week 3 ladies.

I found the run ever so slightly easier than yesterday and I’m beginning to build a bit of confidence in my progress. I also got to know some lovely ladies so a fantastic half hour of my life 😊
