Day 1

Looked at myself in the mirror yesterday and decided something had to happen. Survived day 1 and, surprisingly, I actually enjoyed it. The dog was a bit surprised that her morning walk wasn’t as leisurely as usual.

Thank you. I’ve now read the info I should have read before I started. I’ll stick with my trainers for now and progress to gait analysis once I can run for long enough without embarrassing myself.

Yay well done! I’ve just done the W1R2 and feeling excited but still nervous I won’t make it. I’m not taking my dog as I thought it would be too distracting!

Well done you too! We’re in it together so we’ll both make it. The dog was a bit distracting but I’m not sure I’m up for a morning walk on top the ‘run’.
