Week2 run 1

[SunnyC33]

Can’t believe I’m still doing this and even more unbelievable is that I’m still enjoying it 😳.

I feel a bit silly as I’m only slow and a rather large woman, but today whilst out on my run I saw another runner closing in on me, he was fast and I was starting to feel self conscious, however when he passed he gave me the thumbs up 👍- it really spurred me on!

Rather like motorcycle riders who give each other a nod when passing, I’m in the gang 😂

Great for getting started, doesn't matter how slow , slow is good keep it up and now your part of this c25k gang good luck

Thank you! Love your profile picture, my Jack loves running with me (doesn’t stop him yapping though) 😂

Never tried running with my dog as I think he would just chase my shoes 😂

I felt like that at first being bigger I felt like I had no right to be doing this but other runners are so friendly, we did a park run and were the slowest bit everyone encouraged us. Its a great community, well done you keep at it x

Somebody else on here posted that however slow you are you are beating everyone who’s sitting on the sofa.

Whilst doing this I bumped into a work colleague who has run marathons and he said that another runner wouldn’t look down on you but would think it’s great that you’re having a go.

Ah feel better now, thanks all 👍

[Nannyto2 Graduate]

Well done you, such wonderful encouragement from a fellow runner 👍

[SteveW1960 Graduate]

Well done to you - great start and love your positive approach

I’m 58, 18st in weight and I just do my thing and am so pleased so far

Let the hares go at their speed - we tortoises have our own plan 😊

And just think - one day you’ll be catching others up on the road 😊

Go You
