Today was my first day of the ‘couch to 5k ‘. The fact that it was raining tested my resolve, but my husband was watching so I duly set off.

Managed the first few jogs but found I was getting slower and run number eight was more of a ‘granny shuffle’.

Onwards and upwards.

Great job... doesn’t matter how slowly you finished, just that you did. That’s the hardest run down... well done.
