Hi all, this is my first time clicking on Health Unlocked. I'm now onto Week 5 and I did run1 on the treadmill on Monday because of the mental weather outside! It's great to see how everyone else is doing and so inspiring. To myself, I've been in this little bubble since January, "my journey" as my wife likes to call it. I was 22 and a half stone st the start of january. I come from a family of runners, my Dad completing 30 Great North Runs and my brother finishing 120th last year in 1 hour 19mins. I've always felt the odd one out. This year, my first as a Dad, I wanted to change that. I wrote to the Childrens Liver Disease Foundation to ask if I could run on their behalf, as my daughter was born with severe Jaundice. They confirmed my position on 3rd January 2020 and since then, my life has changed. I've now lost 1 stone 12 pounds, as of yesterday.
I REALLY found week 4 tough. I couldnt let it get me down so decided to take a week out to run without the app. It's so strange, my legs dont necessarily feel exhausted, I can run further, but my mind is telling me to stop and walk. It's so frustrating but I need to get over this block.... I completed W5R1 on Monday at the gym and felt I could run further after Michael told me I was into my 5 minute warm down. Sorry, this is me spouting off and waffling. It just feels good to share my last 6 weeks with people I know will listen 😄
It may have been easier to just post my Justgiving story! I'm not touting for money FYI!! Amazing if you'd wish to!
