Have "Graduated"

[Thumblina]

Hello there,

Have not messaged on here for ages owning to various problems. But I have kept plodding on and last week I "graduated" and am now up to running for 40mins. Cannot believe it, do feel proud of myself.

So I encourage everyone to keep going you can do this , and you will feel so good.

But I do need some advice is there a free app or website to help continue with the running , to clock your miles and calories?

My next milestone is to do my local park run, thought I might volunteer as a steward for a few weeks till I feel confident to tackle a run with lots of other people as I always run on my own.

I find it so amazing when out how friendly people are, other runners wave or shout something encouraging and have made a lovely dear friend . We enjoy having a coffee together and putting the world to rights.!!! plus people walking their dogs are brilliant.

Also I have a stressful job and unfortunately personal problems and I find running helps me forget all these problems . Also am due to see Doctor soon, maybe it might have helped my blood pressure and finally has definitely made a big difference to my Slimming world the weight is coming off !!!

Good luck to all on Couch to 5kand Graduates xxx

Hi, well done and I use Map My Run as it syncs with My Fitness Pal. Although I expect Straba syncs with whatever other apps you might be using too... Keep up the good work!
