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 😂

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.
