W1 Day1

Haven't run for about 15 years, found my trainers and grabbed the dog, off out into rainy Manchester - wish me luck!

Well done. Once you get your kit on the hard bit is done. It’s a battle with motivation and I bet you feel great now. 🍾🥂

Good luck - don’t try and chase the dog - double the legs makes it a hard run...

Getting out that door for the first time takes courage. Well done! I ran round my sitting room/dining room/kitchen for the first week because I was too scared to expose the world to my running. I will never forget what it took to head out for the first time. I hope you (and the dog) enjoyed it and are feeling proud. Keep going!

I wonder if the dog was thinking "Darn it I didn't hide those trainers very well" 😂

Enjoy the runs, remember the mantra "Slow and steady 🐌"!

Look forward to hearing how it goes 💪

I hope you didn't have to carry the dog all the way? "Grabbed the dog" - love it.
