First run done

Was dreading it but that's it done. Wasn't as bad as I thought and the walks were less brisk towards the end but managed to keep the jogging at the same pace.

Did look like a pound shop rocky (from rocky 1) due to not having any gear to wear but it was dark so all good.

I ran in jeans and tee-shirt for the first week or two in case I threw in the towel and ended up with kit I was never going to need. When I realised I wasn't going to quit I bought something more suitable. Doing it is more important than looking it so well done to you. :)

Well done 👍🏼
