Started the couch to 5k today, wasn't as awful as I thought it was going to be. I haven't run in I don't know how many years! Feeling quite proud of myself.

Haha, that could be a new tag line for C25K in the App Store... “it’s not as awful as you’d think” 😆😆

Take it nice and steady and trust the program and you’ll be fine. Someone who is better with links than me will be along shortly to point you in the direction of some very useful reading if you haven’t already seen it.

Enjoy your running rebirth 🙂🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️🏃🏼‍♀️
