Wk 5 run 1 already.....

Not posted before, just been lurking in the shadows reading everyone else's posts and comparing myself.... Never thought in a million years I would get this far but I have enjoyed it dare I say lol. I decided to do this for me and didn't tell anyone when I started and have still only told around 4 people (all runners themselves).

Run one for week 5 is due tomorrow, I hadn't looked as far as run 3 until I saw a post on here and wow am I nervous now. I will give it my best shot as so far I have surprised myself with the others so who knows.

Any advice on what I should be eating and when? I do need to lose weight but am finding that I am struggling with what to eat and what is best. I do drink plenty of water all day long so hydration is not an issue. I tend to run midweek Tuesday and Thursday evenings between 7 and 8 pm and then again Saturday or Sunday but in the morning.

I love reading everyone's posts by the way, so interesting and so many different reasons for doing this. Well done everyone

You are doing really well don't worry about runs that are in front of you. As for eating just do it as healthy as possible . Also we are all different so try not to compare yourself to anyone else. Good luck ๐Ÿ˜Š๐Ÿ˜Š
