I found a track, away from houses.

I dressed up warm, in fleece and trousers.

Clicked on the app and started my walk....

keeping it brisk and able to talk.

The half time bells were a welcome surprise!

But I'd turned back before then <rolling of eyes>.

The last two runs were just lengths of my street,

But I finished it all, sweaty faced with tired feet.

It wasn't as hard as I thought it would be,

But when I got home I was quite wobbly.

A drink of water later, I enjoyed the post run glow.

I'll bask in that for now, I'll be aching tomorrow.

Well done 😊 🏃

It is a good feeling isn't it? I completed week 1 this morning, much to my amazement 😲

Keep basking in that glow and hope the aches are not too bad tomorrow 😊

Haha that did make me laugh 😂

Get off your horse 🐴 and drink your milk 🥛 🤠

Are you doing stretches after your run? I find it helps 🏃

Congratulations to you MayThorne on starting C25K with run 1 of week 1, I am so pleased to hear from you that you enjoyed your run today, enjoy C25K and your running journey, take all the runs slowly and keep ridgidly to the program, no running on consecutive days as doing that you could get a injury, good luck, onwards and upwards to run 2 of week 1. 😊 🏃🏾 I don't think that you will ache too much tomorrow.

Well done 👍🏼 you got out there and did the toughest run of the program. Good on you 💪🏼 Keep up the good work
