Starting to feel like a runner!

Just completed W5R1 and am definitely feeling stronger ... felt I could carry on for longer on the last run and had found a comfortable pace 😊. The best bit though was I crossed paths with 3 other runners/joggers and instead of avoiding eye contact, as I normally do, we all smiled and nodded at each other - feel like I’m part of a new club! πŸ˜„πŸƒβ€β™€οΈ

Excellent. That should bring you some more confidence and lifts a barrier a lot of people have - imposter syndrome when other runners are around. Enjoy the next one.
