I did it - W1, Run 1 completed! It was as difficult as I had expected, but lots of positives- clothes comfy, foot ware comfy, not too much jiggling about from the body ๐. A lovely crisp, bright morning. Although Iโd read much in preparation, nobody suggested taking a tissue, or am I the only person whose nose runs faster than they do? ๐คง ๐
Off the starting block ๐: I did it - W1, Run... - Couch to 5K
Off the starting block ๐

Great job! Thatโs you crossing that start line, thatโs huge. Hardest step to take and the toughest run done โ
The runs get longer, but youโll be ready for them. Enjoy your journey.
Iโd like to think that was the toughest run, but Iโm not so sure! Thanks for the encouragement though!
Run 1 nearly killed me... ahead of schedule I accidentally ran 9 minutes on Sunday with no issues at all. So Iโm finding the runs mid programme a lot easier, and finding out my stamina was better that I thought has boosted me. The jumps in endurance look scary, but theyโre not.
LOL, I've got this picture in my mind of your nose detaching itself and running a couple of yards ahead of the rest of you.
Good job for completing the first one. Welcome aboard!

Well done for getting underway ๐๐๐
I get through 2 or 3 tissues each run, and you only forget to take one once. I was advised "No tissue? use your sleeve" well I wear a T-shirt with no sleeves so I tried my wrist but hit myself in the nose with my wristwatch ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
Good luck and enjoy ๐๐๐

That was so me this morning - wiping my nose on my arm. I didnโt smack my nose though, as it was running faster than me ๐คง

Kitchen rollโs less likely to self-destruct, I find! I agree that the first oneโs the hardest, mentally. The very best of luck with the rest of the week. Enjoy! X

Kitchen roll sounds like a good suggestion. Thanks ๐๐ผ
