Starting again!!

Last Christmas I was given two lovely presents - on the back of the top it says (printed upside down) 'If you can read this my dog has pulled me over 🐾'!! Unfortunately I do seem to have a few tumbles but can't always blame the dog!

Anyway....the presents have hardly been used for the last 6 months due to an ankle injury 😕. After daily physio exercises and a few trial walk/runs I have decided to start Couch to 5k again. First run on Wednesday went well and second run today.....

Good luck to everyone doing the programme - it definitely works so just keep going 😊

Oh welcome back. Good luck - at least you know you can do it. Although the lay off must have been quite frustrating, be quite nice to do it all again. If it's Laura you stick with you'll get to listen to "Julie" again!!!

Thanks, ancientrunner! I tried one of the other 'coaches' but missed Laura so went back to her on the second run! The thing is, I never did hear Julie first time round - maybe I was using a different app?

Thank you for your reply. You are doing really well, especially with the hot weather (well that's assuming you've had the hot weather where you live!) . Yes, I agree the structure is reassuring 😊

That is a great t-shirt. I think I’ll need it when Merlin is finally well enough to run properly.

Thanks.

He doesn’t actually present as an ill dog, so I have my work cut out to make sure I don’t let him do too much.
