Holy moly mother of god, I did it! Not only did I do it, it felt SMASHING! Average pace was 14.34, and at one point I was doing an11 minute mile!

One week ago I felt at total rock bottom, and with you all behind me I now feel like I can do this, that all is not lost and I can see a future (better) me.

Thank you all so much x

Aw thank you! It feels slow compared to some of my friends (7 minutes) but I didn't feel like I wanted to stop, and that's huge for me 😁

Well done you. Running well, enjoying it and sorting the diet too. You sound as if you have it SORTED! Go Fg19! Run lightly, run slowly, but run!

I can't even work out how fast that is... But speed isn't what we're aiming at I suppose. The fact is, we're getting out there!
