Well done!

I started my first jog last night. It was better than I thought for a non-runner.

I want to stick at it and I know it's not going to be a walk in the park but I'm sure it will pay off in the long run.

Well done everyone for getting started. Always take your rest days and go slowly - more 🐌 than 🐆.

I found it physically hard at the beginning but, as I got fitter, it got mentally tougher because there's space for the gremlins to creep in. It will take a dose of sheer bloodymindedness to get past them!

If you can do that, you will find that a day will come when mind and body run together - and that's magical.

Keep going, and keep posting. Good luck 👍
