Week Two done and dusted

It's taken a little longer than I intended but week two is finally over.

Finally out of my jeans and trainers that are falling apart so I'm starting to look a little more runner-like. Not enough to want to be seen in daylight dressed like this mind, so I'll keep to running under the cover of darkness for now. (To be honest, while in running I don't care what I look like, but I am very self conscious of what people think when I'm doing the walking bits)

Anyway, here's to next week's 3minute run, BRING IT ON!

Well done.

No need to be self conscious............anyone who makes a judgement, about someone in running gear who is walking, obviously knows very little about running. So why would you care?

Keep running, keep smiling.

I think you are always more self conscious about your self them what other people think. I've just finished week 2 tonight too and stayed to run at dusk...I'm slowly allowing day light rubbing into my life 🤣😂🤣 well done on your runs, time to go to a sports shop. you might feel more comfy in running gear

I also run in the dark and have not liked coming across people during the walking bits 😁 I wonder why that bothers us so much.

You'll soon be running without breaks, then you can run proud! Though to be honest no-one takes any notice of us, running or walking (strange how lurid lycra makes you invisible!)

And there's me thinking it makes me so sexy it intimidates everyone not running 🤣🤣

Maybe you're right! Definitely not so in my case though!

Not what you're looking for?
