Off the couch

The hour went forward back in March, and so I started my journey off the couch. Running for a minute was hard, only exceeded by running for two lots of 10 minutes. I’ve had swollen ankles - got new trainers, pain in my calf - rested up, been on holiday - disrupted my routine, struggled with the heat - packed in for 3 weeks. And then today, I’ve only gone and done it - I ran 5K. Never thought it would happen. But do you know what - it just did!
