Well I did it, and it wasn’t too bad. Actually, much better than not too bad, it was brilliant. I really felt that I got into a rhythm today, I think I started to feel a bit like a runner, rather than an imposter.

Such a great feeling. There were moments that I felt like I could run forever (obviously I couldn’t!!) but it felt great to be comfortable and not struggling and huffing and puffing.

I feel like I have got over another hurdle.

Run 3 next, no doubt that will knock me back down to earth! Am half dreading running for 20 minutes and half (sort of) looking forward to it.

I will definitely be taking the advice of all the great people on here, and the trusty Laura, and taking it easy, one step at a time and see how things go.

But tonight I feel great.

I have not posted on here before but have been reading the posts for a few weeks and they have really helped me when I was struggling. So thanks all.

Posts are sometimes written or replies which give runs a reputation... ill deserved.

All the runs are different, they have to be... otherwise we would not be able to move on... but, slow and steady, you will be ready for them

Delight not dread, and anticipation not apprehension

Well done you!

Thanks for the support, it’s really good for the motivation to know that there are other people out there that are having /have had similar experiences, and are offering encouragement and advice.

So glad I discovered this place, it’s a brilliant community.
