Had a fun moment in the park that all newbies to running will understand. Caught a glimpse of my shadow running, actually running 🏃‍♀️ Jo Whiley reminded me that I am now running more than I am walking. Have a great weekend everyone 🎈

🤣✅ it’s hard to think of yourself as a runner when you have never been one. Now the penny has dropped! 🤣

It’s strange isn’t it, seeing yourself do something you never thought possible. Well done on completing W4R2! ☺️

Yes! My fun is just doing 30 mins 3 x a week with no intention of going further or faster.

That’s all I want to be able to do too.

I’m sure you will. Have you now got yourself some nice shoes? I saw one of your earlier posts about shoes. I have just ‘invested’ in a second pair for muddy ‘runs’ as I fell flat on my face last week. rather like a belly flop into the undergrowth so at least a reasonable soft landing. However, I would prefer not to repeat it!

🤣 I have ASICS which have been fantastic...so comfy, so light & they beckon me to put them on 😉

I often run through the town in the early hours and see my reflection in the shop windows. Me? running? Yes! And loving it!

It is a good moment.

I remember seeing mine and being pleased it wasn't bouncing 😊

Given the fact that I couldn't seem to follow any other instructions from Laura ( nose breathing, and counting breaths)

I was overly impressed by that shadowy me!!

Not seen this yet but will look for it on my next runs. Must be an amazing feeling. Congratulations on your R2 Annie 🤗 I did R3 today but bought new running shoes and they really hurt so I didn’t enjoy🥴
