First run - ever!

I ran! I ran! I ran!

First time ever have I run longer than the panting distance to the bus stop. I am absolutely thrilled. I was the sideline supporter for three friends that did a 10K recently, next year I'm going to join them. Can't believe I actually ran. Can't wait for Wednesday for my second run.

Thank you all for your inspiring posts, they've really helped me get my trainers on and out for a 6am run.

Yay! You did the hardest thing - you got up, put your trainers on and went out for a run. You'll be amazed at how quickly you get stronger now, so good luck with the next run, and keep posting your progress here 😀👍👏

Oh my goodness!!!

You've only gone and done it! The first one is the hardest - actually getting the resolve to get up early, get your kit on and get out the door is a major achievement. Be proud.

Good luck with run two later in the week.

Happy running. :-)

Ha Ha I can here your absolute joy. Well done, you started a great programme!

Well done.... getting out for that 1st run is so hard... it was my new years resolution to do this program... and I didn't manage that first run until June lol. Well done. 😁😁
