Downloaded the app a couple of weeks ago but had flu and needed to recover, been putting it off all week but had my โ€˜enoughโ€™ moment yesterday and finally went out this morning... really donโ€™t know why I was putting it off for so long!

Looking forward to run 2 ๐Ÿ˜

Thank you, getting up and dressed was much harder than the โ€˜runโ€™ ๐Ÿ˜Š

Well done for starting - that first step through the door to your first run is the hardest one you will do.

I had the same experience at the start - I bought some cheap running gear in February and the weather collapsed. On the day the clocks changed I had a FFS moment and just went and ran in the bad weather.

Your determination to go and run will help you a lot. Enjoy the next run!
