Making sure you are properly hydrated might help with achey thighs. Make sure your drinking plenty every day, as it’s not just run day drinking that’s important.

Oh - and good luck!

Try to enjoy running , take it really slow and plenty water 7 days a week not just on run days. You can do this. 😊😊

Happy bunny today so my first week.

Did 3 walk/ runs .

Two 5 min rows .

One 400ft walk straight up a steep hill , 1.7 mile in total .

I lost 1lb in weight .

2 meat free meals ( my vegan son is staying ).

Finding the runs very hard SO

decided to try a week 2 activity .

I managed to do a 90 sec run x 4 .

Though my neighbour was going past on her horse so I think I was showing off .

I do feel heavier and legs are like lead .

But pleased I have repeated my efforts .

Normally I will have one or two goes at such things and all it has served is to remind me what a big lump of lard I am !
