Just go for a short gentle run and see how it goes.

The main thing is to start... so how about just go for a 10 min run with 5 warm up and down, or if that feels too scary warm up, run 5, walk 5, run 5 and warm down.

Getting back out, just like that very first run is the hardest. 👍🏻😉

Thank you. I’m just getting together all the gear to run in. Luckily my dog Henry is coming and so he’s hassling me to hurry up otherwise I’d drag my feet all day ! Getting out is the hardest. I’ll know I’ll love it when I’m out there !
