I'm impressed. I did my first run on an evening and celebrated with wine and a cheese board 🤣

Sounds nicer than what i have , was so tempting to buy a apple pie or something hearty. Maybe treat myself to a glass later

Cheating? Who made that rule? A run's a run. Good on you!

However you run doesn't matter, be proud of yourself for making the start, good on you. My only advice is to make the most of the lovely special people on the forum who will help you so much on the way whenever you need them. Good luck 🍀👍
