I’m not sure how to feel about running yet.. I started quite impulsively but was so impressed by how good I felt after the pain had gone 😂 and it’s so lovely to hear how everyone else is doing! Maybe this is the start of bringing out the runner in me. Not sure if I’m excited or scared of the next few weeks! But here’s to starting something new ☺️

You’ll be stunned at how you progress. For me the trick was learning to run slowly! Enjoy!!
