She’s done it!!!!!

[Deepestblue]

8 weeks to the day I bravely slipped on some trainers I hadn’t worn in over 10 years, and I hadn’t ran since childhood.

I’ve just ran in the same trainers for 35 mins straight and completed couch25k

I feel a little emotional, surprised, proud and also knackered as I’ve literally just reached home lol

What now? Well, to continue, improving my distance, duration and possibly pace. Oh, and a new pair of trainers! I’ve promised myself some from the onset

I am so very thankful for peoples support here, their encouragement and belief in me. Thank you xxx

If I can achieve this anyone can, never did I think I’d proudly strut out my front door, in daylight, in lycra and jog along busy-ish road 😁😁😁😁😁
