First day today

Today will be first day, not sure if dreading it or looking forwards to it. Not run in 20+ plus years, overweight, unfit so this will be a experience. Reading the reviews others have done it including unfit and overweight so given me inspiration and hope. Wish me luck.

I started c25k last year having never run at all before. It's a good start. Well done to take first step. You will do great. Another few weeks into it, you will love it. Go for it Rowing-girl :)
