Me too! First minute was the hardest for me so I just slowed the pace down and seemed to manage the following ones better. Hope you’re feeling as good as me?

I’m off to see my mum tomorrow but taking my kit with me. If I’m feeling good in the morning I may go first thing, otherwise Monday definitely! I’m about to hit 54 in a couple of weeks so feeling nervous about it all but I’ve “outed” myself on FB to friends and family that I’m doing this to make myself commit! Happy to buddy up on this adventure. We can do it! X

Omg that's so funny - we must be twins - listen to this - I am visiting my dad tomorrow and thought I'd take my gear and do it there - I am going to be 53 soon and I've also outed myself on Facebook as I thought it would make me do it!!! Ha!!! 😂

Brilliant - well done - wk 1 is tough as it's a shock to the system -especially if like me you weren't very active beforehand😊

Keep going you'll be fab x

Think the last time I tried to run was about 20 years ago and that was more like a trot lol!!

Well done you!!!

I’ve just started too, post knee surgery.

Can’t say I enjoyed it, but do feel good now it’s done!

Roll on Monday!

I felt great when I got back - thought I'd have to fall into bed with a wet cloth on my forehead but seem to have given me an energy burst lol!! Keep in touch with progress!! Well done to you too!!

Sounds like you’re off to a good start, I was a mess after my first run! You’re going to have a great time doing this and you’ll feel amazing after each run, even the difficult ones
